Abstract
The variety of reading methods applied to 2 Samuel 11–12 have resulted in various interpretive debates. The variety of approaches, however, shares a consensus regarding David’s sin as his relationship with Bathsheba and/or his murder of Uriah. Yet these sins would not seem to justify the harsh judgment that results in the death of David’s first-born son. This study suggests that the narrator constructs an alternate sin of David. The analysis first attends to questions of the Deuteronomistic editors as an interpretive lens for uncovering David’s sin. The results of that analysis are then brought into conversation with narrative-literary reading methods, paying particular attention to perspective as a literary device. The study argues that approaching the text from two reading lenses solidifies David’s alternate sin and the real narrative justification for the death of David’s son.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
