Not every protagonist in the Bible makes the morally good choice. The Bible is not a collection of stories that tell us how to live. It’s not a bunch of fables; it’s a true story.
If the characters who we are told to look up to always did the right thing, it wouldn’t have much to teach us about real life.
In real life, we all make wrong decisions, and the stories in the Bible show us the consequences of those decisions.
