Bathsheba was first Uriah the Hittite's wife and later married to King David. In the book of 2 Samuel it relates the story of how David started a relationship with her after seeing her bathing. When she became pregnant with the King's child, David plotted to have Uriah sleep with his wife. When that failed, he had Uriah killed in battle. Bathsheba later became the King's wife and one of their children was Solomon.
This was one of the darkest times in David's life, and eventually repented of these sins. One of Bathsheba's children, Nathan, became an ancestor of Mary (mother of Jesus). Joseph, Jesus' human father, was a descendent of Solomon. Thus, both of Jesus' human parents can trace their ancestry back to Bathsheba and David.
