Check out Jars original King David link and you will find your answer. It was a mock trial.

Psalming the Pea
I don't think that David is so much known for being good as he is known for being honest before God. (Judging from the many Psalms he wrote)
Its true, however, that he was not gonna admit anything until Nathan the prophet reminded him that he was in fact guilty.

David committed a crime. 20,000 people died as a result of that crime.
God did not intervene. And the lesson is......?

Re: model of morality?

Why don't you compare David to the other kings in the bible.
Seems like most of the kings did not have a problem with killing thousands for personal gains.
Of course, some would assert that George W. Bush has to live with the same problem.
I believe that God knew that David was very human and would make some very human mistakes. There is no such thing as a perfect leader, but the difference is that some mistakes affect others more than other mistakes.
I agree with Rats point that murderers can hear from God...often better than "good" people can because good people dont realize that they need God. Some murderers do.
