Bathsheba
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.
