God's command The Israelites who followed God saw adultery as a sin because God had commanded them to not commit adultery and made it clear it was not acceptable or in their best interest.

Exodus 20:14 (KJV)

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

In most cultures, it has been important for men to be sure that they really are the fathers of the children they spend time and money in raising, and to whom they leave a share of their inheritance. This requires that a married woman must be absolutely faithful. The Ten Commandments say, "thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife" to protect this principle. The Israelites do not seem to have held adultery by a married man in any great Horror, as there is no biblical injunction against a married man having sex with a single woman or prostitute, and there are many examples of biblical heroes doing so.
