You might want to look up Bathsabee in the DRB (Bethsheba in the AV).

[Tax-chick]

David repented, but he still suffered. So did Bathsheba. Joab, David’s nephew and army commander - and one of the greatest characters in world literature - got his comeuppance in the end.

Bathsheba’s husband, Uriah, might be said to have gotten what he wanted: he died heroically in the charge and was honored by his comrades. And the innocent baby went to God.

Bathsheba is a type of the Virgin Mary, because of the position of power she held as the mother of King Solomon. (” ... speak to the King, he will not deny you anything ...”) She’s also an anti-type, because of her unchastity!
