Well. Except for the fact that David had already gotten Bathsheba pregnant by that point. He had Uriah called back from the front so that there could be some plausible claim that Uriah was the father, but Uriah refused to have sex with his wife while he was on leave because–IIRC–he wanted to stand in solidarity with his buddies on the front line that weren’t home with their wives. So David had him killed in order to try and cover up their adultery.
For a guy that’s supposed to be one of the good guys, David was a real piece of work.

I think there is a lesson in there about adultery being very bad or something.
