If you wanted to tell a story that made your side look good then the facts of their faults would not be so prevalent as it is in the good book. Where all the main characters are far from perfect and deal with the same temptations that we do and take the same bite we might. Yet the Torah teaches us the good, bad and sometimes ugly of our previous leaders showing them not as some mythical being but as flesh and blood. This is another example of why the good old book is true and new for us to explore today and in our future.
