Was David's sin having more than one wife or was his sin having someone else's wife?

It would have been a nice reminder.
Tamar sought to reason with Amnon in 2 Samuel 13:12 though that failed.
Such dialog is not mentioned between Bathsheba and David.
Instead, God confronts David afterward through the Prophet Nathan. David is confronted then for having despised the commandment of THE LORD and doing what was evil in THE LORD'S sight.
The Bible does not project the innocence of either.
Yes, I have used those Bible verses many times here and am thought down upon for it. We think much a like on these scriptures though you use a different Bible translation.
I agree, in the Bible, a man can have more than one wife.
I agree, in the Bible, it is adultery for a woman to have a man other than her husband.
I agree, in the Bible, it is adultery for a man to marry a divorced woman.
I agree, in the Bible, it is adultery when a divorced woman marries another man.
I agree the New Testament teaches that it is good not to marry. (Matthew 19:10 and 1 Corinthians 7:1)
As a matter of Bible teaching, I agree with 1 Corinthians 7:10-11.
Not many agree with the Bible.
One here greatly speaks against all men who point to these Bible verses.

The Bible makes no mention of screams for help. (Deuteronomy 22:24, Genesis 39:15, Genesis 39:19)
Bathsheba went along with it willfully enough.
But did she help it along?
Did she deliberately bathe with foreknowledge in such a manner that the king might see her? knowing the king may see her?
Was it her plan to be seen?
I don't think that Bathsheba is innocent.
I think she went along with the king.
I think also, she may have wanted to be seen by the king so deliberately bathed where the king may notice her. Whether that is true or not, she definitely committed adultery with the king. She, a married woman, chose to have sexual relations with another man. Something that was unlawful for them both. BOTH SINNED! Both knew it was sin. They did it anyway. No regard for the commandment of THE LORD against such. They dismissed the command for a moment of pleasure. And Uriah lost his life for it.
We have been dismissing adultery ever since.
The church sure does not address it.
It seems to have become an excusable sin.
Marriage after marriage.
Divorce after divorce.
Adultery after adultery.
Divorce itself like it has become an excusable sin. Divorce also being part of adultery.

Was it by chance that Bathsheba was bathing where the king could see her?
Had she seen the king walk about the palace roof before?
Is Bathsheba completely innocent?
2 Samuel 11:2
One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful. (2 Samuel 11:2)
Abortionists like to push unlimited access to abortion by saying what of cases of rape, incest and the health of the mother. With that, they always get away with unlimited murder.
The Trans-Human Movement and Elon Musk want to, of course, show how well these developments work in improving the lives of disabled human-beings, but why limit these advancements for just disabled human-beings, why not expand it to military applications and why not expand it to personal choice? as what human-being does not want to improve their lives or design themselves for better?
We get further and further from God's design all the time. And we go further and further into Satan's design. His ulternate design for us. We are discontent with God and his design. We want OUR Design. It goes beyond improving the lives of disabled people by making them essentially less disabled and goes into the realm of altering God's Design. We depart from God. We do things our way. We say "NO" to God's way. It is like mating with devils. We get further and further from God. Will God welcome the offspring of those born of a different design? Was their hope for the giants?
