Her account is primarily found in the books of 2 Samuel and 1 Kings.<br><br><b>Background and Family</b><br><br>Bathsheba was the daughter of Eliam (<a href="/2_samuel/11-3.htm">2 Samuel 11:3</a>), and she was married to Uriah the Hittite, a soldier in King David's army. Her lineage is notable, as her father Eliam was one of David's mighty men (<a href="/2_samuel/23-34.htm">2 Samuel 23:34</a>), and her grandfather Ahithophel was a counselor to David (<a href="/2_samuel/15-12.htm">2 Samuel 15:12</a>).<br><br><b>Encounter with King David</b><br><br>Bathsheba's life took a dramatic turn when King David saw her bathing from the roof of his palace. Captivated by her beauty, David sent for her and committed adultery with her, despite knowing she was married to Uriah (<a href="/2_samuel/11-2.htm">2 Samuel 11:2-4</a>). This act led to Bathsheba becoming pregnant.<br><br>In an attempt to conceal his sin, David summoned Uriah from the battlefield, hoping he would go home to his wife and thus provide a cover for the pregnancy. However, Uriah, demonstrating loyalty to his fellow soldiers, refused to enjoy the comforts of home while the army was in the field (<a href="/2_samuel/11-6.htm">2 Samuel 11:6-13</a>). Consequently, David orchestrated Uriah's death by placing him in the front lines of battle (<a href="/2_samuel/11-14.htm">2 Samuel 11:14-17</a>).<br><br><b>Marriage to David and the Birth of Solomon</b><br><br>After Uriah's death, Bathsheba became David's wife and bore him a son. However, the child conceived in adultery died shortly after birth as a consequence of David's sin, as pronounced by the prophet Nathan (<a href="/2_samuel/12-14.htm">2 Samuel 12:14-18</a>). Despite this tragedy, Bathsheba later gave birth to Solomon, who would become one of Israel's greatest kings (<a href="/2_samuel/12-24.htm">2 Samuel 12:24</a>).<br><br><b>Role as Queen Mother</b><br><br>Bathsheba's influence extended into the reign of her son Solomon. She is depicted as a respected figure in the royal court. In <a href="/bsb/1_kings/1.htm">1 Kings 1</a>, Bathsheba played a crucial role in ensuring Solomon's succession to the throne, reminding David of his promise that Solomon would be king (<a href="/1_kings/1-11.htm">1 Kings 1:11-31</a>). Her position as queen mother granted her a place of honor and authority, as seen when Solomon bowed to her and provided her a throne at his right hand (<a href="/1_kings/2-19.htm">1 Kings 2:19</a>).<br><br><b>Legacy and Significance</b><br><br>Bathsheba is listed in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Matthew, referred to as "the wife of Uriah" (<a href="/matthew/1-6.htm">Matthew 1:6</a>), highlighting her enduring legacy in the biblical narrative. Her account is a complex tapestry of sin, redemption, and the sovereignty of God in using flawed individuals to fulfill His divine purposes. Bathsheba's life illustrates themes of repentance, grace, and the fulfillment of God's promises through the Davidic line, culminating in the birth of the Messiah.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Bathsheba</span><p>the seventh daughter; the daughter of satiety<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Daughter of the oath, or of seven, called also Bath-shu'a (<a href="/1_chronicles/3-5.htm">1 Chronicles 3:5</a>), was the daughter of Eliam (<a href="/2_samuel/11-3.htm">2 Samuel 11:3</a>) or Ammiel (<a href="/1_chronicles/3-5.htm">1 Chronicles 3:5</a>), and wife of Uriah the Hittite. David committed adultery with her (<a href="/2_samuel/11-4.htm">2 Samuel 11:4</a>, 5; <a href="/psalms/51-1.htm">Psalm 51:1</a>). The child born in adultery died (<a href="/2_samuel/12-15.htm">2 Samuel 12:15</a>-19). After her husband was slain (<a href="/2_samuel/11-15.htm">11:15</a>) she was married to David (<a href="/2_samuel/11-27.htm">11:27</a>), and became the mother of Solomon (<a href="/2_samuel/12-24.htm">12:24</a>; <a href="/1_kings/1-11.htm">1 Kings 1:11</a>; <a href="/1_kings/2-13.htm">2:13</a>).

She was the beautiful wife of Uriah the Hittite, and because of her beauty was forced by David to commit adultery (<a href="/2_samuel/11-2.htm">2 Samuel 11:2</a> <a href="/nasb/psalms/51.htm">Psalm 51</a>). Her husband Uriah was treacherously killed by the order of David (<a href="/2_samuel/11-6.htm">2 Samuel 11:6</a>). After the death of her husband David made her his wife and she lived with him in the palace (<a href="/2_samuel/11-27.htm">2 Samuel 11:27</a>). Four sons sprang from this marriage (<a href="/2_samuel/5-14.htm">2 Samuel 5:14</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/3-5.htm">1 Chronicles 3:5</a>), after the first child, the adulterine, had died (<a href="/2_samuel/12-14.htm">2 Samuel 12:14</a>). With the help of the prophet Nathan she renders futile the usurpation of Adonijah and craftily secures the throne for her son Solomon (<a href="/1_kings/1-11.htm">1 Kings 1:11</a>). Later Adonijah succeeds in deceiving Bath-sheba, but his plan is frustrated by the king (<a href="/1_kings/2-13.htm">1 Kings 2:13</a>). According to Jewish tradition, <a href="/nasb/proverbs/31.htm">Proverbs 31</a> is written by Solomon in memory of his mother. In the genealogy of Jesus (<a href="/nasb/matthew/16.htm">Matthew 16</a>) Bath-sheba is mentioned as the former wife of Uriah and the mother of Solomon by David.<br><br>See <a href="../a/adonijah.htm">ADONIJAH</a>; <a href="../a/ammiel.htm">AMMIEL</a>; BATHSHUA; DAVID; ELIAM; NATHAN; SOLOMON.<br><br>A.
