There is a series on TV about King David that I haven't watched yet, but I'm thinking about David and thinking he was probably really a shyster, especially if he really murdered Uriah and stole Bathsheba. My hypothesis is this: for propaganda reasons and because he was viewed as composing the early Psalms, Old Testament redactors decided to make him a hero, and even more Jehovah's favorite dude- even the "anointed one."
Anybody who could even think about the Uriah murder was a real sicko.

When you are the one in charge of writing the history, you can spin it however you want it to sound.

Exactly. The Bible is likely full of propaganda. As is the Quran, The Book of Mormon, and all other "scripture."
