And you're probably thinking of Tamar
She was raped by her half-brother. So King David didn't really do shit.

Nope, not thinking of Tamar, because it was before King David. I don't have a copy of the Bible at home either, so I think I'm out of luck.
The point was that rape IS discussed in the Bible as a separate entity from extramarital sex.
