Bathsheba's story begins in David's great sin, but it does not end there. After deep grief and repentance, she became David's wife and the mother of Solomon, whom the LORD loved. Her name means daughter of the oath.
As queen mother she secured Solomon's succession to the throne, and she is named in the genealogy of Jesus himself. Her life is a testament to how grace can write a redemptive story even out of sorrow and failure.
Bathsheba is a stately, uncommon name — dignified and rich with history.
