What the Bible says
2 Samuel 11:3-4
3And the king sent, and inquired who the woman was. And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite. 4And David sent messengers, and took her, and she came in to him, and he slept with her: and presently she was purified from her uncleanness:
2 Samuel 11:15-17, 27; 2 Samuel 12:24
15Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die. 16Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest men were. 17And the men coming out of the city, fought against Joab, and there fell some of the people of the servants of David, and Urias the Hethite was killed also. 27And the mourning being over, David sent and brought her into his house, and she became his wife, and she bore him a son: and this thing which David had done, was displeasing to the Lord.
Matthew 1:6
And Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her that had been the wife of Urias.
