Who this is

Bathsheba was the wife of Uriah the Hittite until David saw her bathing, summoned her, and got her pregnant while Uriah was away at war under David's own command. David's cover-up ended with Uriah's engineered death in battle, a sin the prophet Nathan confronted directly with a parable that trapped David into condemning himself, and the child born from the affair died in infancy as part of the judgment. Bathsheba later became the mother of Solomon and intervened at a critical moment near David's death to make sure Solomon, not a rival half-brother, inherited the throne.
