(bath sshee' buh) The daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite (2 Samuel 11:3 ). She was a beautiful woman with whom David the king had an adulterous relationship (2 Samuel 11:4 ). When David learned that she had become pregnant as a result of the intrigue, he embarked on a course of duplicity that led finally to the violent death of Uriah. David then took Bathsheba as his wife. She became the mother of Solomon and played an important role in ensuring he became king (1 Kings 1:11-2:19 ). See David .
