Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary


BATHSHEBA (1Ch_3:5 Bathshua: this may be a mere textual error).—Wife of Uriah the Hittite, seduced by David (2Sa_11:2-4), and afterwards married to him (2Sa_11:27). The child died (2Sa_12:18), but another son, Solomon, was subsequently born (2Sa_12:24). Bathsheba, instigated and supported by Nathan, successfully combated Adonijah’s attempt to secure the throne (1Ki_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 (1Ki_2:13-25).

BATHSHEBA or BATH SHUA (a Canaanite name, Gen_38:2; Gen_38:12; 1Ch_2:3) Ahithophel, her grandfather. Eliam or Ammiel (1Ch_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; 2Sa_23:34; 2Sa_23:39). Mother of Solomon, whose mind she helped much to mold; also of Shimea (or Shammua), Shobab, and Nathan (1Ch_3:5). Nathan and Solomon were both ancestors of the Lord Jesus (Luk_3:31; Mat_1:6). Her strength of intellect, kindness and influence over David and her son, appear in 1Ki_1:11-31; 1Ki_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.

David took many wives for himself (2Sa_3:2-5; 2Sa_3:14), but the circumstances surrounding his taking of Bathsheba brought him trouble for the rest of his life. While her husband Uriah was out fighting battles for David (he was one of David’s leading soldiers; 2Sa_11:3; 2Sa_23:39), David made love to her and she became pregnant (2Sa_11:2-5). He then thought of a murderous plan to have Uriah killed in battle, after which he took Bathsheba into his palace as a royal wife (2Sa_11:6-27).
Nathan the prophet condemned David for murder and adultery, assuring David that his own family would be torn apart by murder and adultery (2Sa_12:1-12). David repented of his sin (2Sa_12:13; Psalms 51), but God’s forgiveness did not remove the evil example that David had already set before his family.
The child born to David and Bathsheba died (2Sa_12:14-23), but later they had another son, Solomon (2Sa_12:24). This son was the one chosen by God to succeed David as king (1Ch_22:9-10). In David’s closing years another son, Adonijah, tried to outdo Solomon in their claims for the throne, but Bathsheba’s influence ensured that Solomon became king (1Ki_1:11-31). When Adonijah then tried to use Bathsheba to advance himself in Solomon’s court, Solomon executed him for treason (1Ki_2:13-25).

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 (2Sa_11:4-5; Psa_51:1. The child thus born in adultery became ill and died (2Sa_12:15-18). After the lapse of the period of mourning for her husband, who was slain by the contrivance of David (2Sa_11:15), she was legally married to the king (2Sa_11:27), and bore him Solomon (2Sa_12:24; 1Ki_1:11; 1Ki_2:13). In 1Ch_3:5, she is called Bath-shua instead of Bath-sheba; and her father Ammiel, instead of Eliam (compare Mat_1:6). The other children of Bath-sheba are named in 2Sa_5:14; 1Ch_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 (1Ki_2:19).
