As you often do, Lizzie, you’re not as familiar with the Scriptures as you claim. David was forgiven of his sins—and then God imposed a temporal punishment for them. We are told this explicitly.
“And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die. Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly scorned the Lord, the child that is born to you shall die.”
2 Sam. 12:13-14
Hebrews 12:5-11, which likewise quotes Proverbs 3:11-12, is crystal clear that God reserves a special punishment for His legitimate children, that they may grow in holiness. This punishment obviously isn’t the punishment of Hell, because once in Hell, you don’t grow in holiness. It is a temporal punishment for their sins.
Very basic concept that is everywhere in the Bible and Church history.
