Bathsheba was the daughter of one of Eliam according to 2 Samuel 11:3 and of Ammiel in 1 Chronicles 3:5. [3] An Eliam is mentioned in 2 Samuel 23:34 as the son of Ahithophel the Gilohite. Bathsheba was Uriah the Hittite's wife. David's initial interactions with Bathsheba are described in 2 Samuel 11. While walking on the roof of his palace ...
We also know from 2 Samuel 12:24 that Solomon was their second son. Assuming that Solomon is mentioned last as the most important, if the others are listed in order this would make Nathan the fourth or fifth son born by Bathsheba (= Bathshua) and therefore tenth or eleventh of David's sons. 1 Chronicles 3:6-9 recounts the others born in Jerusalem.
The number of sons by name in the Bible is 19. In addition, two further unnamed sons are recorded as having been born in Jerusalem, one, probably both, having died in infancy. One of these was the first child born of David's adulterous relationship with Bathsheba. Only one of David's daughters, Tamar, [1] is mentioned by name. [2]
Pieter Lastman, David handing over a letter to Uriah, 1619.. Uriah the Hittite (Hebrew: אוּרִיָּה הַחִתִּי ʾŪrīyyā haḤīttī) is a minor figure in the Hebrew Bible, mentioned in the Books of Samuel, an elite soldier in the army of David, king of Israel and Judah, and the husband of Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam.

[26] Jerimoth, who is not mentioned in any of the genealogies, is mentioned as another of his sons in 2 Chronicles 11:18.
Chapters 11 and 12, which pertain to David, Bathsheba, and Uriah, form one episode that is concentrically structured in eleven scenes: [14] A. David sends Joab and the army to attack Rabbah (11:1) B. David sleeps with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah (11:2–5) C. David and Uriah: David arranges Uriah's death (11:6–13)
The first child (unnamed in that account), a son conceived adulterously during Uriah's lifetime, had died seven days after birth. It is suggested in Scripture that this was a judgment from God. Solomon had three named full brothers born to Bathsheba: Nathan, Shammua, and Shobab, [21] besides six known older half-brothers born of as many mothers ...
