The Mosaic Law stated that the penalty for committing adultery was death (Deuteronomy 22.22-24; Leviticus 20.10). The same went for committing murder (Numbers 35.30). If so, why didn’t King David die when he committed adultery with Bath-sheba, then had her husband, Uriah, killed in battle (2 Samuel 11.1-27)? Under the Law, he deserved death, but why was he allowed to live?
