Bathsheba

Bathsheba was the wife of Uriah the Hittite before David saw her bathing and committed adultery with her. David then arranged Uriah's death in battle. After their first child died, she bore Solomon, who became king. She later advocated for Solomon's succession to the throne and became the queen mother.
