bat-she.va identifies the woman named as Solomon’s mother, David’s wife, and a petitioner before King Solomon.

The attested narrative use identifies a particular woman: she is named as Solomon’s mother, David’s wife, and a person who approaches or is summoned before the king. The supplied Psalm verse contains the form, but its APB wording does not visibly show the term’s contribution.

    In 1 Kings 1:11 the APB renders Nathan speaking to the woman as “Solomon’s mother,” while 2 Samuel 11:3 identifies her in a question about “daughter of Eliam” and “wife of Uriah the Hittite.” In 1 Kings 2:19 the APB renders her coming to King Solomon concerning Adonijah, and the king places a throne for the king’s mother at his right.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In the narrative verses, the APB presents the term as the woman named Bathsheba, often identifying her through David or Solomon. In Psalm 51:2, the supplied APB text does not visibly reflect the term.
