"--Sad really. If only he had been a better father." I guess if he used "corrective" measures on the guilty in order to assist them to become good citizens, one could make allowances...but he generally murdered anyone at random! Take the time when David obeys him and takes a census (hardly an immoral act!). God turns around and says. I don't like you for counting people. I will give you your choice of punishment. And instead of punishing David he murders 70,000 people at random!! Yes, he was never cut out for fatherhood! Although he loved Lot who had incest with his daughters and offered them for a gang rape, so we can't say he didn't love some of his kids! (of course, to Greg or ee and Brum--this is all REAL!! ;-)) "Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me. 21:13 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man. 21:14 So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men."
