He also did some not-so-nice things in his later years.

And David paid the price by having a VERY dysfunctional family with a lot of envy and anger

David had nothing on his son Solomon when it came to wives.

Yes, but his ending was left ambiguous.

David had many wives...a dozen? (No)

Single digits.

A couple of women referenced where concubines he inherited that came with the kingdom he inherited. The Bible doesn't mention that he slept with them.
