Answer 1

D. Rulers must follow the same moral standards as anybody else.

Step-by-step explanation:

King David is punished for killing one of his own men so he could take that man's wife. Even though David was the king of Israel and blessed by God, according to Judaism, God punished him harshly for his actions.
