What was David's worst sin?

2 Samuel 11:2-4

2 In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: and the woman was very beautiful. 3 And the king sent, and inquired who the woman was. And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite. 4 And David sent messengers, and took her, and she came in to him, and he slept with her: and presently she was purified from her uncleanness:

2 Samuel 11:14-17

14 And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias, 15 Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die. 16 Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest men were. 17 And the men coming out of the city, fought against Joab, and there fell some of the people of the servants of David, and Urias the Hethite was killed also.

2 Samuel 12:9-10

9 Why therefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord, to do evil in my sight? Thou hast killed Urias the Hethite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. 10 Therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Urias the Hethite to be thy wife.

Catholic view (generated):

David's worst sin was likely his affair with Bathsheba and the subsequent murder of her husband Uriah to cover up the affair. This event is considered a grave violation of the commandments against both adultery and murder, and led to serious consequences for David and his family. Through repentance and seeking forgiveness, David ultimately found redemption and reconciliation with God.
