Did David get away with murder? We have the vague idea that David's evil deeds - including adultery and murder - were outweighed by his good deeds, so God gave him a pass. How else can we explain the Lord's gracious treatment of the King? Well, David explains what happened, in Psalm 32... and it doesn't have anything to do with weighing things on scales. God dealt with David the same way He'll deal with us: not by sweeping sin under the rug, but by crediting righteousness.
