2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
3 He walked in all the sins of his father which he had committed before him; and his heart was not wholly devoted [perfect, KJV] <08003> to the LORD his God, like the heart of his father David.
4 But for David’s sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem;
5 because David did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the case of Uriah the Hittite (1 Kings 15).
4 For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and his heart was not wholly <08003> devoted <08003> [perfect,KJV] to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been (1 Kings 11).
David had numerous wives concubines (2Sam. 5:13).
He became enraged at Nabal, intending a massacre (1Sam. 25:34).
He/his wife kept an idol in their home (1 Sam 19:13).
He feigned madness in order to escape Achish (1Sam. 21:13).
He was considered a man of blood and not allowed to build the temple (1 Chron 22:8, 28:3).
Scripture says that the heart of David was perfect all his days except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
