Publisher's summary

After sending his army to besiege another king's capital, King David forces himself on Bathsheba, a loyal soldier's wife. When her resulting pregnancy forces the king to murder her husband and add her to his harem, Bathsheba struggles to protect her son while dealing with the effects of a dark prophecy and deadly curse on the king's household.

Combining historical facts with detailed fiction, Angela Hunt paints a realistic portrait of the beautiful woman who struggled to survive the dire results of divine judgment on a king with a divided heart.

Well worth reading.

Excellent read. Very enjoyable in depth novel depicting the story of Bathsheba, the beloved queen of King David.

Angela Hunt has done it again with her talented skill in her added dramatized writing about characters of the the men and women of the Bible, during the time of the rule of kings, while keeping it real with its truths.

Deeply satisfying

I have listened to many audiobooks, mostly in the genre of historical fiction, often revealing the untold stories of powerful women throughout History. This telling of the story of Bathsheba was deeply satisfying because it developed her character and personality, as well as describing the era and circumstances in which she lived in an entirely believable way, inspiring my compassion and imagination. The story focused on Bathsheba, her family, King David and kept to the historical facts. There were perhaps a few too many characters which complicated the story, but it never lost my interest!

Really really good!

I really really enjoyed this. It really opened up that Bible era to me so much more and better. I really enjoyed Nathan. And her sweet and honest spirit.

Exceptional

This story is beautifully written and uncomfortably relevant. To give voice to Bathsheba’s heartbreakingly triumphant story and to put such a human voice to the great prophet Nathan. Truly exceptional

Makes one think of Bathsheba from a different perspective. It also makes one wonder about Solomon's influence in Africa.

Engaging and entertaining

Well written and the author stayed true to the scripture theme. Delightful concern that drove home the presence of the characters as well as their personalities. This is one of my favorite books that will not leave my library.

Bathsheba

I really enjoyed listening to this story. The narrator's voice was appropriate for each voice. Also it was very interactive. It was also close or true to the Bible's account. The prophecy of Nathan and others truly broke my heart.
