Bathsheba
the wife of Uriah.
David first committed adultery with her, then caused her husband to be slain, and afterward took her to wife. These sins displeased Jehovah, who sent the prophet Nathan to David, with the parable of the ewe lamb. David bitterly repented, but yet was punished. Bathsheba was the mother of Solomon, whose succession to the throne she took pains to secure. She is afterward mentioned in the history of Adonijah, in the title of BATHS OF AGRIPPA BATTENBERG Psalm li, and among the ancestors of and sugar growing regions. It was here, Christ (Matt. i: 6).
