About this listen

Bathsheba is a woman who longs for love. With her devout husband away fighting the king's wars for many months at a time, discontent and loneliness dog her steps - and make it frighteningly easy to succumb to King David's charm and attention. Though she immediately regrets her involvement with the powerful king, the pieces are set in motion that will destroy everything she holds dear. Can she find forgiveness at the feet of the Almighty? Or has her sin separated her from God - and David - forever?

With a historian's sharp eye for detail and a novelist's creative spirit, Jill Eileen Smith brings to life the passionate and emotional story of David's most famous - and infamous - wife. Smith uses her gentle hand to draw out the humanity in her characters, allowing listeners to view themselves in the three-dimensional lives and minds of people who are often viewed in starkly moralistic terms. You will never listen to the story of David and Bathsheba in the same way again.

Oh wow!

What a beautifully written novel. I’ve heard many but this was the best by far. So lovely. The magnificence of God and the strength of King David’s love for his God was strong throughout the whole story. Also it showed what God’s forgiveness can do for us. Thank you Jill Eileen Smith for an incredible story and thank you Callie Beaulieu the narrator for such a wonderful job.
