No.13 Referenced from ~ Part1 - Chapter 2 - Argument 1-2

David must be obligated to provide for Bath Sheva for the rest of her life, but he don't have to make her his wife at all

The Bible is conscious of exposing the faults of the hero David, and there is no biblical moral difficulty to be found here. The article on his third sin, however, is ridiculous.

To make Bathsheba his own, David sends her husband Uriah to the battlefield and kills him in battle. This "displeases God," and he is rebuked by the prophet Nathan and led to repentance. As a result, he loses his child with Bathsheba.

However, the Bible tells us the following fact. What a surprise, after this, David takes Bathsheba as his official wife. How can a man who causes the death of a woman's husband, and then admits that it was his fault, take her as his wife? The minimum responsibility of a man is to give up what he has gained through dishonesty as soon as the dishonesty is discovered.

Although I think that by responsibility of him, he must be obligated to provide financially for Bath Sheva for the rest of her life, he should not have to make her his wife at all.
