How do we know that David's sin was against God?

Answered in 1 source

David's sin was against God as outlined by the prophet Nathan, who declared that David's actions displeased the Lord.

In 2 Samuel 12:9, Nathan reveals to David that his actions not only transgressed the law but they were a direct affront to God's sovereignty and commandments. Nathan reminds David of the blessings God had given him and illustrates how he took what did not belong to him, indicating a blatant disregard for God’s moral law. David’s sin was not merely private misbehavior; it caused the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme His name, deceitfully portraying God's covenant people as hypocritical. This underscores how serious sin is, especially for those in positions of leadership, where actions have broader implications for the faith community.
