#136: Summer Series: The Woman Beyond the Scandal

Bathsheba’s name is often tied to scandal or whispered about as part of King David’s mistakes. But what if we’ve misunderstood her all along?

In this episode, we pause and look at Bathsheba’s story with fresh eyes—not through the lens of shame, but redemption. She endured betrayal, unimaginable loss, and a complicated entrance into royalty. And yet, God restored her honor, secured her place in Israel’s future, and wrote her name into the family line of Jesus.

Scripture to read and reflect on:

• 2 Samuel 11 – David and Bathsheba
• 2 Samuel 12 – Nathan rebukes David, Solomon’s birth
• 1 Kings 1 – Bathsheba advocates for Solomon’s kingship
• 1 Kings 2:13–25 – Bathsheba’s audience with King Solomon
• Matthew 1:6 – Bathsheba in the genealogy of Jesus
