Bathbeba was the wife of Uriah stood for all the voiceless and nameless people throughout histoty. She gets into the genealogy to the ancestory to the tradition as a sexual object. The story of Bathsheba is that King David saw her bathing from his roof one day and instantly fell in love with her. He called her from his roof and told her to come to his home and seduced her. King David knew that Bathsheba was the wife of Uriah, so after he commited adultery he called Uriah back because he knew that if Uriah slept with her they would think it was Uriah's child not Davids. When Uriah didn't want to sleep with Bathsheba he sent Uriah to war and put Uriah in the front of the battle line. Soon after Uriah dies he King David has Bathsheba all to himself and she becomes part of the royal line. King David and Bathsheba had one child. The first son of David was smitten with severe illness and soon died. David accepted this punishemnt but knew that his home would be cursed with turmoil because of his murder. King David took this as punishment from God for his sins. David felt so much guilt and asked God for forgivness. This came to pass years later when one of David's much-loved sons, Absalom, led an insurrection that plunged the kingdom into civil war. God then blessed Bathsheba and David with their son, Solomon, who would have competition from his older brother Adonijah.
Bathsheba is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus as the mother of Solomon, the greatest king. Although Bathsheba is not directly related to Jesus, but rather through the marriage of David and through her son Solomon.

I liked the story of Bathsheba. It was explained very well. I also liked that she added that Bathsheba was really not related to Jesus except through mairrage. It was a very important piece of information.
They description of the story was great! The analysis of why they are mentioned lacks and wasn't really explained so just needs to be done/explained a lot more in depth. Still good work.
I wrote on Bathsheba as well. I wrote about how Bathsheba gave birth to Solomon, which was one of the greatest. The story was good too, she explained Bathsheba well.
