Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, was initially married to Uriah the Hittite, one of David’s loyal soldiers (2 Samuel 11:3). However, she later became the wife of King David and the mother of King Solomon (2 Samuel 11:27; 12:24). The name Bathsheba means “daughter of abundance.” The Bible describes her as “very beautiful” (2 Samuel 11:2).
