<p> | <p> BATHSHEBA or BATH SHUA (a [[Canaanite]] name, Genesis 38:2; Genesis 38:12; 1 Chronicles 2:3) ''Ahithophel, Her Grandfather'' . [[Eliam]] or [[Ammiel]] ( 1 Chronicles 3:5), one of David's officers, was her father. (See [[Ahithophel]] .) Uriah, being a brother officer, formed an intimacy which ended in his marrying Eliam's daughter. David committed adultery with her, and caused her husband's murder (2 Samuel 11; 2 Samuel 23:34; 2 Samuel 23:39). Mother of Solomon, whose mind she helped much to mold; also of [[Shimea]] (or Shammua), Shobab, and Nathan ( 1 Chronicles 3:5). Nathan and Solomon were both ancestors of the Lord Jesus ( Luke 3:31; Matthew 1:6). Her strength of intellect, kindness and influence over David and her son, appear in 1 Kings 1:11-31; 1 Kings 2:13-21. She is said by tradition to have composed Proverbs 31 as an admonition to Solomon on his marriage to Pharaoh's daughter. </p> | ||

<p> <strong> | <p> <strong> BATHSHEBA </strong> ( 1 Chronicles 3:5 <strong> [[Bathshua]] </strong> : 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 ). </p> <p> J. Taylor. </p> | ||

<p> Bath-She´ba, also Bath-shua, daughter of Eliam, grand-daughter of Ahitophel, and wife of Uriah; she was seduced and became pregnant by King David during the absence of her husband, who was then engaged at the siege of [[Rabbah]] ( 2 Samuel 11:4-5; Psalms 51:1. The child thus born in adultery became ill and died ( 2 Samuel 12:15-18). After the lapse of the period of mourning for her husband, who was slain by the contrivance of David ( 2 Samuel 11:15), she was legally married to the king ( 2 Samuel 11:27), and bore him Solomon ( 2 Samuel 12:24; 1 Kings 1:11; 1 Kings 2:13). In 1 Chronicles 3:5, she is called Bath-shua instead of Bath-sheba; and her father Ammiel, instead of Eliam (compare Matthew 1:6). The other children of Bath-sheba are named in 2 Samuel 5:14; 1 Chronicles 3:5. She is afterwards mentioned only in consequence of her good-natured intercession for Adonijah, which incidentally displays the respect with which she was treated by king Solomon, her son ( 1 Kings 2:19).
