BATHSHEBA ( 1 Chronicles 3:5 Bathshua : this may be a mere textual error). Wife of Uriah the Hittite, seduced by David ( 2 Samuel 11:2-4 ), and afterwards married to him ( 2 Samuel 11:27 ). The child died ( 2 Samuel 12:18 ), but another son, Solomon, was subsequently born ( 2 Samuel 12:24 ). Bathsheba, instigated and supported by Nathan, successfully combated Adonijah’s attempt to secure the throne ( 1 Kings 1:11-53 ). Acting as Adonijah’s intercessor in the matter of Abishag, she was most respectfully received by Solomon, but her unwise request was refused ( 1 Kings 2:13-25 ).
