Hi David, You mention below that God says that David was right in everything except the matter of Uriah. How do you understand the passage in 1 Chronicles 21:1-30 (parallelled in 2 Samuel 24:1-25) regarding David's sin of numbering the people? How do you incorporate this 'sin' with the matter of Uriah? I do not see the parallel between them. If they are indeed distinct I believe you will find that it is just you (and not God) that thinks that David only sinned in the matter of Uriah.
Some further information on this sin of David's and why this was considered a sin (taken from http://www.learnthebible.org/L-136_david's_sin_in_numbering_the_people.h tm): a. David did not take up the required offering (Exodus 30:12-16) b. David sinned in the pride of having a great army (1) He was counting soldiers (v.9) (2) He took his eyes off the Lord and put them on his own resources (v.3; 1Chronicles 21:3); the entire purpose of the numbering was so that David might know the number of the people (v.2) (3) Even Joab saw the wickedness of this act (1Chronicles 21:6) Jonathan David: I realize that David does not think like modern theologians and ministers, but the testimony of God is that he was right in everything except the matter of Uriah.
