David committed murder and lost his salvation.

You do err, knowing neither thr Scriptures nor the power of God.

"And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die" (2 Sam. 12:13 AV).

When God forgives, He also forgets. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 Jn. 1:9 AV)

David abjectly confessed/repented and God completely forgave.

Furthermore, David did not lay a hand on Uriah, therefore Uriah was not murdered. He willingly died in battle. Furthermore, Uriah was a Gentile, and should not have been marrying a Jewish girl. The sentence for that alone was death.

In 2 Samuel 12:9 Why have you despised the word of the Lord, to do what is evil in his sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and have taken his wife to be your wife and have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.

God charges David with Uriah's murder.

Simply because David did not physically do the act with his own hand, doesn't mean he wasn't responsible for his death, murder, actually.

Uriah, the Hittite could have been Jewish.

Solomon Goldberg; the American; is.

Essentially true and there are consequences; David remembered and we remember. Are the scriptures eternal ?

Furthermore, David did not lay a hand on Uriah, therefore Uriah was not murdered. He willingly died in battle. Furthermore, Uriah was a Gentile, and should not have been marrying a Jewish girl. The sentence for that alone was death.

David was guilty of killing Uriah. In Jewish tradition Uriah is viewed as Jewish, either by birth, or as a convert. For example, Hiram of Tyre is thought to be a convert when the scripture called him a brother to Solomon.

And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king's house, (Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not. And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day. And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.

**Furthermore, Uriah was a Gentile, and should not have been marrying a Jewish girl. The sentence for that alone was death.**

Rather than debate Uriah’s bloodline, I will note this:

It must have been okay when the genders were opposite:

Salmon married the harlot Rahab of Jericho, and his son Boaz, married Ruth the Moabitess. All were ancestors of Mary and Joseph. But, you prolly knew that there tidbit.

Furthermore, David did not lay a hand on Uriah, therefore Uriah was not murdered.

David sent him to die so that he(David) could have his wife. In God's eyes he was murdered as assuredly as if he swung the sword himself.

God judges the heart and intent of the person. The nuances of man's criminal justice system are not God's justice. There is no such thing as "reasonable doubt" in God's eyes. What David did was no different than what Cain did to Able. And Cain was condemned for his murder.
