Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Bath-shua, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, related Greek entries may include those associated with the names of Judah, David, and Solomon, reflecting the broader biblical narrative in which Bath-shua is mentioned.

Usage: Bath-shua is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as a personal name.

Context: Bath-shua is a name mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, associated with two distinct individuals:

• Bath-shua, the wife of Judah: Bath-shua is identified as the Canaanite wife of Judah, one of the twelve sons of Jacob. She is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 2:3, where she is referred to as the mother of Judah's three sons: Er, Onan, and Shelah. In Genesis 38, she is called "the daughter of Shua," indicating her father's name rather than her own. The narrative highlights the complexities of Judah's family dynamics and the continuation of his lineage through Tamar, his daughter-in-law.

• Bath-shua, the mother of King Solomon: In 1 Chronicles 3:5, Bath-shua is listed as the mother of Solomon, one of David's sons born in Jerusalem. This reference is understood to be an alternate name for Bathsheba, the well-known wife of King David and mother of Solomon. The name Bath-shua emphasizes her noble status and the wealth associated with her family.

The use of Bath-shua in these contexts underscores themes of lineage, inheritance, and the fulfillment of God's promises through the descendants of Judah and David.
