Usage: Bath-Sheba is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. She is most notably recognized as the wife of King David and the mother of King Solomon. Context: Bath-Sheba is a significant figure in the biblical narrative, primarily found in the books of 2 Samuel and 1 Kings. She was originally the wife of Uriah the Hittite, a soldier in King David's army. Her story is pivotal in the narrative of David's reign. While Uriah was away at war, David saw Bath-Sheba bathing and was captivated by her beauty. He summoned her to his palace, and she became pregnant. In an attempt to conceal the affair, David orchestrated Uriah's death in battle. After Uriah's death, Bath-Sheba became David's wife and bore him a son, who died shortly after birth as a consequence of David's sin. Bath-Sheba later gave birth to Solomon, who succeeded David as king. Bath-Sheba's influence is noted in the succession narrative, where she played a crucial role in securing Solomon's place on the throne. Her story is a complex narrative of sin, repentance, and redemption, illustrating the themes of divine justice and mercy. Bath-Sheba is also mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus in the New Testament, highlighting her importance in the biblical lineage.
