BY CLIVE W AYREMoral failure takes many forms, and sometimes we would prefer not to know about them. But consider the story you can read of David, Bathsheba and Uriah in 2nd Samuel 11, 1-15. Part of the irony of this drama is that David is one of the heroes, “a man after God’s own heart”. Yet here is a story of moral collapse in which Scripture makes no attempt to tone down the seriousness of it because of who David was.
