Bible Question (short): David's wives became impure after Absalo |
Question (full): Dear Doc, The incident was having the possession of multiple wives. David, in opposition to Deut. 17:17, multiplied wives to himself besides Abigail, Ahinoam, and Michal: Maachah daughter of Talmai king of Geshur, whom probably he took in his raid (1 Sam. 27:8), Haggith, Abital, Eglah And the question is that if physical relations with more than one person is adultery, or adultery is only what violates what is on paper. But I believe Jesus mentioned that even looking at another woman with a lustful thought was already adultery. So the "official" marriage on paper doesn't seem to be the primary problem but the act itself. The incident involving Absalom is that according to your interpretation, only then, David's wives were violated. But that he didn't violate each one with previous multiple relations. In Him, Finder |
