Good grief man. Bathsheba was queen by having been king David’s wife which made her queen. Isn’t that what I said in my post? The queen is queen by virtue of her being married to the king not by being his mother.

Catholics always like to trot out the name of Bathsheba as being queen during the reign of king Solomon but never mention king David’s mother Nitzevet who was never queen even though she was the mother of David. If it were true that the mother of the king was the queen Nitzevet would have been the queen in David’s kingdom..

-—The queen is queen by virtue of her being married to the king not by being his mother.——

Yes.

The Queen Mother is different from the Queen.

Agreed?

The queen is married to the king. The queen mother is the king’s mother.

When Bathsheba was married to King David, she was the queen.

When Solomon was king, Bathsheba, as his mother, was the queen mother.

When Bathsheba was queen, she bowed to David. When she was queen mother, David bowed to her, and she sat at his right hand.

As queen mother, Bathsheba enjoyed a more exalted position than she did as queen.

Since Mary is Jesus’ mother, and not His wife, she would be the Queen Mother of the King of the eternal House of David, Jesus.

Seriously... even once will do you god.

David Had 8 wives (2 Samuel 3:2-5,) plus Michal and Bathsheba).

Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. So which one was Solomon going to pick as his Queen?, Duh His mother as was the normal practice.
