Strong's Lexicon Bath-sheba: Bathsheba Original Word: בַּת־שֶׁבַע Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּת (bath) meaning "daughter" and שֶׁבַע (sheba) meaning "seven" or "oath." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Bathsheba in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as her account is primarily contained within the Old Testament. However, her influence is seen in the New Testament through her son Solomon, who is mentioned in genealogies of Jesus (e.g., Matthew 1:6). Usage: Bathsheba is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "daughter of the oath" or "daughter of seven." She is most notably recognized as the wife of King David and the mother of King Solomon. Cultural and Historical Background: Bathsheba was originally the wife of Uriah the Hittite, a soldier in King David's army. Her account is set in the context of ancient Israel, a patriarchal society where women's roles were often defined by their relationships to men. Bathsheba's narrative is significant in the biblical history of Israel, as her union with David led to the birth of Solomon, who would become one of Israel's greatest kings. Her account is a complex one, involving themes of power, repentance, and divine providence.
