Who Takes The Credit?

Having knowing Bathsheba his adulterer was pregnant, King David called back Bathsheba’s husband, Uriah, wishing him to stay home with his wife but Uriah refused to return home, so David had him fight and killed on the frontline where the battle was the fiercest and the most dangerous.
