What was God's immediate punishment to David for taking Uriah's wife?
Answer Details
God's immediate punishment to David for taking Uriah's wife was that David's son by Bathsheba died. After David committed adultery with Bathsheba, she became pregnant, and to cover up his sin, David had Uriah killed in battle. God was displeased with David's actions and sent the prophet Nathan to confront him. Nathan delivered a message from God to David, which included a prophecy that the child born from David and Bathsheba's relationship would die. David's son became sick and died, as a result of God's punishment.
