He didn't exactly commit a murder--simply ordered that Uriah be sent to the
most dangerous position (2 Samuel 11.15). A lot of times, it's better to
actually read the Biblical material before one "speculates" on what it says,
as I think you might be realizing.
Why is it important to you to prove similarities between David and John, and
what are you going to do if they don't exist?
