Ahithophel in the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia". International Standard Bible Encyclopedia Online . Retrieved 2017-08-27. The Second Book of Samuel ( 11:2-4) gives the account of King David who saw a woman bathing from his palace roof. When he asked after her, he was told that she was Bathsheba, daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hittite. David had his messengers retrieve her, and after they slept together she became pregnant with his child. David was able to marry Bathsheba by sending Uriah into battle where he was killed. [1] The work is painted as life sized and in a shallow space, with Bathsheba dominating the composition as she had in no other earlier version of the scene. [6] It is not known whether Rembrandt painted Bathsheba for his own reasons, or to satisfy a commission. [1] Presumably in response to Rembrandt's painting, his ex-pupil and close associate Willem Drost painted Bathsheba with David's Letter the same year, which is also in the Louvre.

I think that, while she might be innocent about relationships and love matters, Bathsheba knows how to use her charms to get what she wants and maybe she does this unconsciously. During the whole movie, she holds Oak and Boldwood in her hand, she knows this and for a time she seems like she is enjoying it; both of them will do anything for her and she does not even have to ask. Perhaps, after meeting officer Troy she realizes that men can be manipulated to either get what one wants or simply to not get …show more content…So David sent this word to Joab: “Send me Uriah ( M) the Hittite.” And Joab sent him to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked him how Joab was, how the soldiers were and how the war was going. 8 Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” ( N) So Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king was sent after him. 9 But Uriah slept at the entrance to the palace with all his master’s servants and did not go down to his house. At the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem.”( 2 Samuel 11:1 WEB) The answer begins with the fact that Bathsheba was the granddaughter of one of David’s chief counsellors, Ahithophel. Her father, Eliam, was one of David’s thirty mighty men (2 Samuel 11:3 & 23:34). This suggests that Bathsheba was a lot younger than David. Mewn ymdrech i guddio ei bechod, gwysiodd Dafydd Ureias o'r fyddin (a oedd ynghanol ymgyrch milwrol ar y pryd) yn y gobaith y byddai Ureias yn cael rhyw gyda'i wraig a chredu mai ef oedd yn gyfrifol am feichiogi Bathseba. Ond roedd Ureias yn anfodlon torri'r traddodiad milwrol o beidio cael rhyw ar adeg ymgyrch milwrol ac o aros gyda'r fyddin a'r creiriau sanctaidd byddai'n bresennol mewn ymgyrch. Yn hytrach na mynd adref i'w wely ei hun, roedd yn well ganddo aros gyda milwyr y palas. Wedi i bob ymdrech i gael Ureias i gysgu gyda'i wraig methu, ysgrifennodd Dafydd lythyr at Joab, arweinydd y fyddin, a'i anfon gydag Ureias yn ôl i faes y gad. Roedd y llythyr yn gorchymyn bod Joab yn rhoi Ureias ar flaen y gad lle'r oedd y frwydr yn boethaf ac yna i gilio'n ôl oddi wrtho, er mwyn iddo gael ei daro'n farw. Lladdwyd Ureias a phriododd Dafydd â Bathseba. [7]

The painting hangs in The Louvre; it is one of 583 works donated by Dr. Louis La Caze in 1869. [2] For Kenneth Clark, the canvas is "Rembrandt's greatest painting of the nude". [3] Its insight into Bathsheba's moral dilemma has been described as "one of the great achievements of western painting."

First, we see something of the intimate relationships between Ahithophel, Eliam, Uriah, David, and Bathsheba. These people were not unknown to one another; on the contrary, they had been very close for years. They were fellow members of the court. This fact alone makes David’s sin worse than it is often supposed to have been. In 2 Samuel 13 we find the rape of Tamar by Amnon. We are told explicitly of her protests, which only serve to highlight Amnon’s sin. Garland, David E.; Garland, Diana R. "Bathsheba's Story: Surviving Abuse and Loss" (PDF). Baylor University .

Bathsheba at her Bath (Veronese), 1575, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, France. Atypically, Bathsheba is clothed in this.

Allusions to Bathsheba at Her Bath have been noted in the works of 19th- and 20th-century artists. It is thought to have inspired The Surprised Nymph (1859–61), an early figure by Édouard Manet that playfully references old master sources. [29] Edgar Degas' pastel Woman Having Her Hair Combed (c. 1885) has been compared to Bathsheba for similarities in the model's attitude; [28] Degas' father was an acquaintance of Louis La Caze, who owned Bathsheba prior to bequeathing it to the Louvre in 1869. [30] [31] His attendants asked him, “Why are you acting this way? While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, ( BF) but now that the child is dead, you get up and eat!” David and Bethsheba" from the Brown Bird album Bottom of the Sea is a retelling of the story from David's perspective. Roedd Bathseba yn ferch i Elïam (2 Samuel 11:3 [3]). Yn 1 Cronicl sillafir ei henw hi fel Bathsua a'i thad fel Ammiel [4]. Roedd hi'n wraig i Ureias yr Hethiad, milwr ym myddin Dafydd. Then David got up from the ground. After he had washed, ( BD) put on lotions and changed his clothes, ( BE) he went into the house of the Lord and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and at his request they served him food, and he ate.Could Bathsheba read? Did she have her own copy of the Torah to read? Doubtless not; few people bothered to learn to do so in the pre-Gutenberg world, and there surely weren’t a lot of copies of the Torah around. What she knew of spiritual matters came from men like David. If David said it was all right for her to sleep with him, she had no real reason to question him – or at least not much of one. But Solomon, son of Bathsheba, did not honor God’s wishes. He married those women against God’s will. As a result, they dangerously drew his heart away from God Almighty and toward the emptiness and danger of their gods.
