2 Samuel 11:3
At the season when kings normally campaign, David remains in Jerusalem. From the roof of the king’s house he sees Bathsheba washing, learns that she is Uriah’s wife, sends for her, sleeps with her, and receives word that she is pregnant. Test the tradition: the text puts David on the rooftop; it does not say Bathsheba was bathing on a rooftop or deliberately trying to attract him, and it gives no seduction motive for her.
Matthew identifies Solomon's mother indirectly as 'her that had been the wife of Urias,' deliberately recalling the David-Bathsheba-Uriah story rather than simply naming Bathsheba.
