Why would a king, powerful, wealthy and handsome, have one of his best soldiers sent into a dangerous battle and killed so he could screw the soldier’s wife?

He was afraid the people would discover she was pregnant with his child

(yeah I know you already know the story)

David didn’t have him killed so he could “screw” her. He had him killed to cover up his affair with her. Much longer and more drawn out sin showing just how far even a “man after God’s own heart” will go once he compromises and then delays repentance.
It’s a warning for you.
It’s a warning for me.

Great response. Hopefully, he or she knows to whom you are referring.

And we men have no doubt that Bathesheba knew exactly what she was doing...bathing in line of sight of the king's window.

Sounds like she was the Meghan Markle of her time.;-)

Men are powerless in the presence of a beautiful woman. Especially if she bathing on a roof top.
