Here is a dose of daily religion from A to Z.

Today’s religious topic is as follows:

“Bathsheba”, in the OLD TESTAMENT (2 Samuel 11, 12; 1 Kings 1, 2), the beautiful daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hittite. She was seduced by DAVID and became pregnant. David then had Uriah killed and married her. Their first child died, but Bathsheba later gave birth to SOLOMON. When David was dying, Bathsheba successfully conspired with the prophet Natan to block Adonijah’s succession to the throne and to win it for Solomon, after which she occupied an influential position as the queen mother.

Bathsheba was a beautiful, clever and unscrupulous woman. She was seen by King David as she bathed, desired by him, and subsequently became pregnant to him
