Landscape with Bathsheba

One night, on looking out from his window, King David happens to see a beautiful woman taking a bath. He falls for her charms and makes her his mistress. To be rid of the husband, David has the poor fellow sent off to war, never to return. David then proceeds to marry the widow Bathsheba.

The couple has five children. The first son dies; the second is Solomon. Through her schemes and machinations Bathsheba manages to make him king.
