These sins displeased Jehovah, who sent the prophet Nathan to David, with the parable of the ewe lamb, 2 Samuel 12:1 . David bitterly repented, but was yet punished, 2 Samuel 11:12 . Bath-sheba was the mother of Solomon, whose succession to the throne she took pains to secure, 1 Kings 1:15 . She is afterwards mentioned in the history of Adonijah, 1 Kings 2:13 , in the title of Psalm 51:1 , and among the ancestors of Christ, Matthew 1:6 .
