Best Answer
A:First we have to define adultery as understood by the early Hebrew people. It was only considered adultery to have sex with a) the wife of another Hebrew man, or b) the virgin fiancee of a Hebrew man. Thus, it was not adultery for a man to have sex with a single woman, a non-virgin fiancee, a widow or a prostitute.

We do not know what laws might have applied at the time attributed to King David, but the biblical evidence is that throughout most of the monarchical period, both the man and the woman would be put to death for committing adultery. A wife was always considered guilty if the offence was committed within an urban environment, since she could have called out, but if the man forced himself on her in the fields, she would not be punished.
