A:First we have to define adultery as understood by the early Hebrew people. It was only considered adultery to have sex with a) the wife of another Hebrew man, or b) the virgin fiancee of a Hebrew man. Thus, it was not adultery for a man to have sex with a single woman, a non-virgin fiancee, a widow or a prostitute. We do not know what laws might have applied at the time attributed to King David, but the biblical evidence is that throughout most of the monarchical period, both the man and the woman would be put to death for committing adultery. A wife was always considered guilty if the offence was committed within an urban environment, since she could have called out, but if the man forced himself on her in the fields, she would not be punished.

Adultery and Murder
God sent different prophets to King David. Namely, Samuel and Nathan.SamuelThe prophet Samuel was the prophet who anointed King Saul, the first King of Israel, and he also anointed King David. He died during David's reign.NathanThe prophet Nathan came to David during his reign. The most well known interaction was when David committed adultery with Bathsheba, a married woman, then had his generals leave her husband to be killed in battle. Nathan came and revealed that he and God knew what he had done, which led to David's repentance and prayer in Psalm 51.
David's weaknesses included adultery, plotting an innocent man's death, and taking an illegal census.Answer 2David appeared to commit adultery but was not technically culpable, since the cuckolded man was a rebel who deserved to die, was sentenced to die, and had actually divorced his wife with whom David slept (Talmud, Shabbat 56a). Nonetheless, the circumstances were considered a blemish in David's otherwise perfect record of righteousness, and God punished him.
David committed adultery.
whoever looks at a woman to lust for her as already committed adultery with her in his heart.
David fasted in the bible , when he committed adultery, and his love child died.
David committed adultery with Bathsheba, when her husband, Uriah, was away at war (2 Samuel 11:1-27).
David committed adultery with Bathsheba, when her husband, Uriah, was away at war (2 Samuel 11:1-27).
committed adultery killed Uriah took a national census
Yes, David was king when he took Bathsheba, so Saul had already died.
David committed adultery with Bathsheba and arranged for her husband to be placed in battle so he would be killed. David then married her and she bore him four sons. David was to bitterly regret the sins he committed.
The term 'adultery' is not used but the act of laying with a married woman is:2 Samuel 11:2-4New King James Version (NKJV)2 Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king's house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold. 3 So David sent and inquired about the woman. And someonesaid, "Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?" 4 Then David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her, for she was cleansed from her impurity; and she returned to her house.
It actually does not say that you have committed 'adultery'; but states that you commit it -- 'in your heart'. Anyway it's in Matthew 5:28

Hardly! King David wrote many of the Psalms, and though he committed the sins of adultery and murder, he repented afterwards.
