The affair? Several levels: 1) He was horny. 2) He perceived she was destined to birth his heir. (And he did: Solomon was the son of David and Bathsheba thought NOT through their initial child; that child died).
His treatment with Uriah the Hittite? Following stipulations apply:
A) Israelite men typically divorce their wives before they go to war. This is so that if they go missing (MIA) their wife can get married again.. Otherwise, she could not remarry on the hopes that her husband returns. After the war, surviving soldiers remarry their wives.
Ab) Because of this custom Bathsheba was "technically" single, though decent men would have left her alone on the presumption she would remarry her not-presently-husband when he returned from the war. Still, it was wrong to do.
B) Uriah himself was given a direct command from David to go home and spend the night with his wife. He refused. Refusing a direct order from your king could be a capital offense.
C) Uriah was given a message to give to his commander, ordering he be sent to certain death. If he read that message, he could have fled to the hills, and perhaps David expected that. He didn't.
None of this excuses David's actions -- it just shows the technicalities he was trying to hide behind.
The one redeeming focus of David is when Natan the Prophet told the story of the rich man who stole and ate the lamb of the Poor man. (I.E. "gave it as a feast for an expected visitor" -- The Messiah). David's reaction was rage. "Who is this evil man?" he shouted. "I swear I will kill him!" Natan pointed at the king: "That man is you."
David COULD HAVE denied it. He COULD HAVE said: "Prophet, you are a liar! Guards, cut his head off!"
But he didn't. He repented. He said he sinned in the eyes of G-d, and tried to make up for his mistake.
That's the best we can do. Teshuvah.
Very little changes.
The one difference is he admitted he was wrong... and he was sincere.
Can't remember the last time we saw that happen.
In the Bible, Divorce is reserved for adultery. So preemptive divorce before going to war doesn’t align biblically, so David did indeed commit adultery.
The idea that the soldiers gave thrives wives an issuance of the writ of divorce prior to going to war is mentioned in Sanhedrin 107b. So the source of this story is Talmudic, not Biblical. Take it for what we will.
Even if a soldier gave his wife a get (The divorce contract) that she could use in the event of his death, it doesn't justify David's actions. Even if Bathsheba was destined to give birth to Solomon with David as the father, there would have been another way to do it other than the way David made it happen. (Properly, perhaps Uriah would have died naturally, rather than through David's interventions). A get or not, it was a very serious sin the way he did it.
