David and Bath-Sheba story - structural analysis
I was interested how the story of "sin of David" is organized. Me personally could only identify 6 blocks (11:2-5; 11:6-21[22-25]; 11:26-27; 12:1-15a; 12:15b-23; 12:24-25) with Introduction and Conclusion (11:1 and 12:26-31). The I consulted two sources: (1) David A. Dorsey, The Literary Structure of the Old Testament: A Commentary on Genesis - Malachi, p. 134; (2) Peter J. Leithart, A Son to Me: An Exposition of 1 & 2 Samuel, p. 215.
