Perhaps the most well known act of adultery recorded in Scripture is when king David took Bath-sheba the wife of Uriah the Hittite. The woman became pregnant and the king sent Uriah to his death. The story is recorded in 2 Samuel chapters 11 and 12.
What was God's reaction to king David's sin? The Most High was extremely angry with the king David:
2 Samuel 11: 27: ... the thing that David had done displeased the LORD. God sent the prophet Nathan to David with this message: ...
2 Samuel 12: 9: Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite 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: Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
11: Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12: For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.

King David repented deeply. He confessed his sin and Yahweh forgave him: but the inevitable results of David's sin could not be reversed. Later his son Amnon raped his half-sister Tamar and another son Absalom committed adultery with David's concubines on the same palace roof from which David had seen Bath-sheba bathing. David was pardoned for his sins. He will be in the kingdom of God. But he was unable to reverse God's punishment for his adultery and murder. These are facts of history.

Yes God was angered by david's action.His action invited curses into his family.But for you to know that God's ways are mysterious.Our Lord and savior Jesus Christ came from the line of Solomon.This was in plan to the coming of the Messaiah,and David's sin of adultery couldnt deter it.Also because salvation is by God's grace and not our own works,we cannot boast about it.That is also precisely why we shouldn't think that David's sin was worse than what most people do today.
