Four levels:
1) Literal comprehension:
King David did not go to the battlefield and stayed in Jerusalem. One evening he saw a beautiful woman named Bathsheba and seduced her.Afterwards she became pregnant and the king sent for her husband, Uriah, who was fighting for the king.When he came, the king ordered him to go his house, but he didn’t go.

3) Critical thinking:
After reading this story we want to ask a few questions: is absolute power a good thing? Can ordinary citizen lead his life freely in a country with an absolute rural One could also argue with the choice of material in adventures in English.” King David’s crime “is an excerpt of a vast holy book. Should students be given such an expert and asked to judge them out of context by reading this expert alone, what sort of picture of King David would they frame in their mind? Would he ask whether the great biblical characters were virtuous?
4) Assimilation:
This story brought for me many associations. I had a wrong conception of great men. I used to think that they were blameless. To err is human.To become a victim of passion is not unnatural. A good man controls it, but a bad man repeats it. It also gave me a clear picture of an absolute ruler.
