And the king took an oath and said, “As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from every distress, just as I swore to you by the LORD God of Israel, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place,’ so I certainly will do this day.” Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and paid homage to the king, and said, “Let my lord King David live forever!” And King David said, “Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.” So they came before the king. The king also said to them, “Take with you the servants of your lord, and have Solomon my son ride on my own mule, and take him down to Gihon. There let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king over Israel; and blow the horn, and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’ Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne, and he shall be king in my place. For I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah.”

Have you ever noticed the difference between Michal and Bathsheba, David's two wives? Although they live next to the same king, their lives follow opposite paths. Michal clings to appearances, unable to open her heart to God, while, despite her failures, Bathsheba endured with dignity and depth. Their way of living their faith will lead them to opposite destinies: Michal disappears into oblivion, without a trace, while Bathsheba enters into the glory of the divine plan, becoming part of the Messiah's lineage.
