I think the unspoken assumption here is that unlike King David, Joseph Smith 
never repented of his adultery, but rather gave prophecies which justified 
it and pronounced curses upon his original wife Emma if she did not accept 
his other women.  Jesus taught us to spot false prophets by their fruit.  We 
don't gather grapes from thistles, and so we expect godly character from 
true prophets and ungodly character from false prophets.

Note that Balaam was a false prophet not because he failed to speak for 
Yahweh, nor because he spoke falsely in his name, but because he had a 
covetous heart.

Peace be with you.
David Miller.
