>David and Solomon were “a mixed bag” only if you don’t know the Oral Tradition. Would that such men were among us today!

What!?
David himself was a murder and an adulterer; if that doesn’t qualify him as a “mixed bag” what does?

Your appeal to oral tradition stinks of the flaw of Humanism: the valuation of man to the exclusion of the reality of his sin.
I don’t want “mostly good,” I don’t want “good;” I want Good and Perfect and Just: I want Jesus!
Not the namby-pamby buddy-Jesus that loves and accepts everyone, the one that gets ANGRY at injustice, the one that basically calls the “prominent & respected” men on their hypocrisy, the one that BREAKS THE NATIONS AS POTTERY WITH A ROD OF IRON!

Technically, David was neither a murderer nor an adulterer, because the conditional divorces which were given to soldiers before going to battle were retroactive up to the time they left. Yes, what David did was beneath him which is why it is held against him in Scripture, but--admittedly by a technicality--he was neither of these things. In addition to this, 'Uriyyahu should have been put to death prior to this for showing disrespect to the King.

Your equation of Divine Truths which were not written down in the Bible with "humanism" merely marks you as a Protestant. If everything not written down is "humanism," then you'd better toss all the vowels and punctuation marks out of your "old testament," because these were not written down but preserved orally.

I'd also be interested in hearing how you think the ancient Israelites intercalated their calendar with nothing written down in the Bible about it. Was it "humanism" to see to it that Passover always came in the spring by adding an extra month every few years?
