bathsheba - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Bath-sheba
  daughter of the oath, or of seven, called also Bath-shu'a (1
  Chr. 3:5), was the daughter of Eliam (2 Sam. 11:3) or Ammiel (1
  Chr. 3:5), and wife of Uriah the Hittite. David committed
  adultery with her (2 Sam. 11:4, 5; Ps. 51:1). The child born in
  adultery died (2 Sam. 12:15-19). After her husband was slain
  (11:15) she was married to David (11:27), and became the mother
  of Solomon (12:24; 1 Kings 1:11; 2:13). She took a prominent
  part in securing the succession of Solomon to the throne (1
  Kings 1:11, 16-21).
