No she lived during the time of David. about 1000 years before Jesus was born. (1040BC - 970BC)
David was 70 years old when he died in 970BC [Ussher], and so was born 1040BC.
David was 70 years old when he died in 970BC [Ussher], and so was born 1040BC.
David, later King David was born 1040BC and died 970BC.
This was written by King David before he himself died [obviously!]The verses Psalm ch16 vs9 & 10 are:-Psalms 169 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely.10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.The single word "sheol" (in the phrase "abandon my soul to Sheol") refers to 3 separate locations:--the grave-Abode of the wicked-Abode of the goodDavid is thanking God in advance that he himself is not going to the "Abode of the wicked" and this Psalm is dual: David was writing both about himself but it is also prophetic of Jesus Christ's destination after death. This Psalm was written by King David before he himself died [obviously!] , and as he died in in 970BC [Ussher], it had to be written no more than a couple of years before that.
The Bible does not say exactly when Bathsheba was born, but an accurate estimate [that's an oxymoron if ever there was one!] can be made. David was born 1061BC and died 971BC. These dates are known and definite dates because:-(1). The date of the completion of the Temple by Solomon in 974BC has been positively dated and cross-correlated by scholars because it is also mentioned in the records of contemporary civilizations;(2). It is known that this was in the fourth year of Solomon's reign ie that Solomon became king in 970BC:-1Ki 6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.(3). His father David died very soon after Solomon became king (ie 970BC).(4). According to Josephus, David was 70 when he died, which means he was born in 1040BC, and he ruled from Jerusalem for 33 years, (and also died there) which means he began ruling from Jerusalem in 1003BC.1Ki 2:11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.(5). David was in Jerusalem when he saw Bathsheba :-2Sa 11:2-3 KJV And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. [v.3] And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not thisBathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?(6). David committed adultery with Bathsheba but she became pregnant, so he had her husband (Uriah the Hittite) killed, and Nathan the prophet confronted David:-2Sa 12:9-10 KJV Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. [v.10] Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.(7). Nathan told him their child (ie not a baby) would die:-2Sa 12:14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.(v.18) And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?(8). Assuming that this happened just after David began ruling from Jerusalem means the earliest possible date for would be 1002BC .(9). The latest possible date for this would be one or two years before Solomon was born:-2Sa 12:22, 24 KJV And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live? ... [v.24] And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.(10). When Solomon became king, David told him to behave "like a man", implying he wasn't (he could have been a teenager):-1Ki 2:1-2 MKJV And the days of David drew near for him to die. And he charged Solomon his son, saying, [v. 2] I go the way of all the earth. And you be strong and show yourself a man.(11). Assuming he was 14 and adding a year for his mother's pregnancy would make the latest possible date for his conception 986BC.(13). This puts the year of David's and Bathsheba's adultery somewhere in a range between 1002BC and 986BC, (but with it more likely to be later than earlier.)(14).Assuming Bathsheba was 25, this would make her born between 1027BC and 1013BC.

And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?To stress the point, it is said 5 times in two verses that it is a child of at least one year old, and perhaps a toddler but not a baby.(8). Assuming that this happened just after David began ruling from Jerusalem means the earliest possible date for would be 1001BC .(9). The latest possible date for this would be one or two years before Solomon was born:-2Sa 12:22, 24 KJV And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live? ...

Assuming he was 14 and adding a year for his mother's pregnancy would make the latest possible date for his conception 986BC.(12). This puts the year of David's confession of adultery and repentance somewhere in a range between 1001BC and 986BC, (but with it more likely to be later than earlier.)(13). It is important to realize that David did not repent until after he was confronted by Nathan(!):-2Sa 12:13, 18 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.(14). Psalm 51 was written after his repentance:-Psa 51:1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.Although it depends on assumptions being made, it makes the writing of Psalm 51 somewhere between 1001BC and 986BC. However, if you made it 990BC it couldn't be far out, and no-body can prove you wrong!
Solomon was born in Jerusalem:-1Ch 14:3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.1Ch 14:4 Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

The date of the completion of the Temple by Solomon in 974BC has been positively dated and cross-correlated by scholars because it is also mentioned in the records of contemporary civilizations;(2). It is known that this took 20 years to complete (ie in 967BC):-1Ki 9:10 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the ...house of the LORD [ie Temple].....(3).

Solomon's father David was a warrior and had had a hard physical life in a time of almost continuous war and strife, whereas Solomon lived in peaceful times, had great riches and splendour, lived a life of ease, and could do as he liked: David wore himself out yet lived to 70, while Solomon had it easy: He should have lived for ages but he didn't. How old was he when he died? However, there is more to this than at first sight. Before King David died in 970BC (Ussher) he told his son Solomon to "shew thyself a man (KJV) or "be a man (BBE)" :-1Ki 2:1-3 KJV Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, (v.2) I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man; (v.3) And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:1Ki 2:2-4 BBE I am going the way of all the earth: so be strong and be a man; (v.3) And keep the orders of the Lord your God, walking in his ways, keeping his laws and his orders and his rules and his words, as they are recorded in the law of Moses; so that you may do well in all you do and wherever you go, (v.4) So that the Lord may give effect to what he said of me, If your children give attention to their ways, living uprightly before me with all their heart and their soul, you will never be without a man to be king in Israel.The implication is that he was not old enough, perhaps still a teenager. Albert Barnes says:-"... Solomon's youth clearly constituted one of the chief difficulties of his position. If he was about nineteen or twenty, and known to be of a pacific disposition (see 1Ch_22:9), then to have to rule over the warlike and turbulent Hebrew nation, with a strong party opposed to him, and brothers of full age ready to lead it, was evidently a most difficult task. Hence, he is exhorted, though in years a boy, to show himself in Spirit "a man."(Albert Barnes on 1Kings 2:2 in his Commentary "Notes on the Bible")If he was 20 that would make him born in 990BC, and after reigning for 40 years he died in 931BC (Ussher):-1Ki 11:42-43 BBE And the time Solomon was king in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. (v.43) And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Solomon went to rest with his fathers and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.Because the Hebrew and Greek calendars do not coincide and his birthdate is unknown, his age cannot be determined exactly. Accordingly, Solomon would have been either 60 or in his 6oth year when he died, even though God says a man is ordained to normally live to 70 but if he is blessed up to 80:-Psa 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten [ie 70 yrs]; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years [ie 80 yrs], yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.So why did Solomon die early at 60 and not later? He had a peaceful This implies that if a person dies earlier than 70 they have not been blessed by living longer, but have instead disobeyed God and been cursed accordingly.God had promised David that if he did as he was told and obeyed Him then his descendants would continue to reign (ie as a "Dynasty of David") over Israel:-2Sa 7:12-13 KJV [God telling David]:- "And when thy [ie David's] days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers [ie die], I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom [ie Solomon's]. (v.13) He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever".Before he died David had told Solomon the same thing, that if he obeyed God and did as he was told then David's descendants would continue to reign (ie as a "Dynasty of David") over Israel: (note that "descendants" is plural ie not just Solomon but his descendants as well.):-1Ki 2:3-4 GNB and do what the LORD your God orders you to do. Obey all his laws and commands, as written in the Law of Moses, so that wherever you go you may prosper in everything you do. (v.4) If you obey him, the LORD will keep the promise he made when he told me that my [ie David's] descendants would rule Israel as long as they were careful to obey his commands faithfully with all their heart and soul.After David died God repeated it to Solomon:-1Ki 6:11-13 KJV And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying, (v.12) Concerning this house [ie temple] which thou art in building,if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father: (v.13) And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.Solomon did not do this: he did not obey the Lord as he had been told to do. Solomon's father David was a warrior and had had a hard physical life in a time of almost continuous war and strife, whereas Solomon lived in peaceful times, had great riches and splendour, lived a life of ease, and could do as he liked: David wore himself out yet lived to 70, while Solomon had it easy and did as he liked yet died earlier at 60 because of his disobedience, and after Solomon died here was a civil war and the nation was split into two. Obedience brings life but disobedience results in death.
Solomon died when he was . . . .According to Faussett's Bible dictionary: At first sight it seems unlikely Israel could be so great under David and Solomon for half a century in the face of two mighty empires, Egypt and Assyria. But independent history confirms Scripture by showing that exactly at this time, from the beginning of the 11th to the close of the 10th century B.C., Assyria was under a cloud, and Egypt from 1200 B.C. to Shishak's accession 990 B.C. Solomon was prematurely "old" (1Ki_11:4), for he was only about 60 at death.However, there is more to this than at first sight. Before King David died in 970BC (Ussher) he told his son Solomon to "shew thyself a man (KJV) or "be a man (BBE)" :-1Ki 2:1-3 KJV Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, (v.2) I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man; (v.3) And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:1Ki 2:2-4 BBE I am going the way of all the earth: so be strong and be a man; (v.3) And keep the orders of the Lord your God, walking in his ways, keeping his laws and his orders and his rules and his words, as they are recorded in the law of Moses; so that you may do well in all you do and wherever you go, (v.4) So that the Lord may give effect to what he said of me, If your children give attention to their ways, living uprightly before me with all their heart and their soul, you will never be without a man to be king in Israel.The implication is that he was not old enough, perhaps still a teenager.
