This story reminds me of a modern day Tinder nightmare.
I like the whole David being the most righteous King ever but still can't resist a beautiful woman and gets himself in all sorts of trouble for it, even killing her husband.
I think if I were to rewrite this story, I would write it as modern day. David sees Bathsheba on Tinder and thinks she's really hot. They end up sleeping together, she gets pregnant and drops the bomb that she also has a long term boyfriend. David has to do some shady things to get rid of the bf, but he thinks it's all worth it cuz she's hot.
I think the actual plot line is already juicy enough that I really wouldn't have to change much, just make it a modern day story and I would focus on David's lust getting him into trouble, and probably write the story from his point of view.
