stoned:

In other words, the lineage of Jesus should never have been, correct?
2 One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof
of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was
very beautiful, 3 and David sent someone to find out about her. The
man said, "Isn't this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of
Uriah the Hittite?" 4 Then David sent messengers to get her. She came
to him, and he slept with her. (She had purified herself from her
uncleanness.) Then [1] she went back home. 5 The woman conceived and
sent word to David, saying, "I am pregnant."
6 So David sent this word to Joab: "Send me Uriah the Hittite." And
Joab sent him to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked him how
Joab was, how the soldiers were and how the war was going. 8 Then
David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house and wash your feet." So
Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king was sent after him. 9
But Uriah slept at the entrance to the palace with all his master's
servants and did not go down to his house.
10 When David was told, "Uriah did not go home," he asked him,
"Haven't you just come from a distance? Why didn't you go home?"
11 Uriah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in
tents, and my master Joab and my lord's men are camped in the open
fields. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and lie with my
wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!"
12 Then David said to him, "Stay here one more day, and tomorrow I
will send you back." So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the
next. 13 At David's invitation, he ate and drank with him, and David
made him drunk. But in the evening Uriah went out to sleep on his mat
among his master's servants; he did not go home.
14 In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah.
15 In it he wrote, "Put Uriah in the front line where the fighting is
fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die."
16 So while Joab had the city under siege, he put Uriah at a place
where he knew the strongest defenders were. 17 When the men of the
city came out and fought against Joab, some of the men in David's army
fell; moreover, Uriah the Hittite died.
Cross reference to Matthew 1:
David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife,
According to you, David and Bathsheba should have been stoned.

*>John 8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in
adultery, in
*>the very act.
*>John 8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be
stoned: but
*>what sayest thou?
7But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his
finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said
to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to
throw a stone at her." 8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older
ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing
there. 10Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they?
Has no one condemned you?"
11"No one, sir," she said.
"Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave
your life of sin."
