David and Bathsheba had an affair that resulted in pregnancy. David tried to trick Uriah to get the heat off him but failed. Uriah sent off to the front lines and killed. Bathsheba's marriage ended, child conceived died despite David's appeal/fasting to God. God did this to David, whom Bathsheba was his second of three wives, in order to wake him up Spiritually, also probably a blood offering due to the treatment of Uriah. Misery followed sin is the point.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is explained in Matthew 7:13-26. A Christian who knowingly sins with the expectation of expecting forgiveness is blaspheming the Holy Spirit/taking God's name in vain/challenging God/being a God unto themselves.

Adultery is evil, period. David paid the price, but technically (God put up with multiple wives of weak kings which later caused misery) be allowed to marry Bathsheba. Christians get in trouble thinking they can enjoy limerence with another partner, destroy the previous marriage vow, and move onto the adultery partner thinking they are forgiven. That is abusing grace and Christ's sacrifice.

**God did this to David, whom Bathsheba was his second of three wives,**

1st wife....Michal (1Sam 18:27. She had no children)
2nd wife....Abigail (widow, 1Sam 25:42)
3rd wife....Ahinoam (1Sam 25:43)

David also had sons from Maachah and Haggith. (don’t know if they were considered wives)

The above were with David while he was king in Hebron (1Chron. 3:1-4)

Bathsheba became David’s wife after he moved to Jerusalem. (!Chron. 3:5)

That can't be the sin of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit because it can NEVER be forgiven, remember?
