Bathsheba

"King David looks down from the palace roof and sees a beautiful woman bathing. He sends for her. Then he arranges for her husband's death in battle, marries her, and sets in motion a series of tragedies that nearly destroys the royal family and the kingdom of Israel. Eighth in the People of the Promise series of biblical novels, BATHSHEBA continues the dramatic history of King David begun in ABIGAIL. But, above all, it is the story of David's wife Bathsheba, whose love for her husband rises above the sinful beginnings of their marriage and the disasters which follow. As we see events unfold through her eyes, a familiar saga is made new."--BOOK COVER
