The Convincing Case of King David‚ The Murderer In all its complexities‚ its self-contradictions‚ its ambiguities‚ and its varied translations the Bible is one of the most difficult texts to fully understand. One prime example of the Bible’s vagueness is found in Second Samuel‚ chapters eleven and twelve in which the controversial “Bathsheba Incident” occurs.
