I was very disappointed in the way David’s adultry and his repentence were portrayed.
Rather than have David prostrate before God confessing his sin, we see him begging for the child’s life.
Personally I don’t think the Biblical diaglogue could be improved upon.
Not wholly inaccurate: David went through fasting and praying for his child (the phrase I remember is "maybe God will relent" [which is also found in Jonah]).
Nonetheless, you are correct the biggest part was the Prophet Nathan's confronting David resulted in a "Oh my God! What have I done!?" moment (literally and figuratively) -- Another thing that they probably didn't touch on was the differences in the King's response when confronted with sin by both David and Saul: the former was concerned with his relationship w/ God, the latter with his kingdom.
Seems that what this OT version is all about God helping Jews to acquire land killing off whoever was there. I would prefer more on Sodom and Gomorrah type teachings on good and bad. But it seems we have to wait for Jesus for more on this.
It has always bothered me - the contrast between the OT and the NT. The God of the OT was about earthly land and war while the God of the NT is about heavenly land and peace. Maybe someone has this figured out.
