2 Samuel 11-12

Lately, I've been reading 2 Samuel in the NIV, and I noticed an interesting feature about how Bathsheba is referred to in chapters 11 and 12.  She's introduced in 2 Samuel 11:3:  "and David sent someone to find out about her.  The man said, 'Isn't this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite?'"  She's not called Bathsheba again until 12:24.  Aside from pronouns and one instance of "the woman" (in 11:5), she's called various forms of "Uriah's wife" (11:26, 12:9, 12:10, 12:15).  By repeatedly referring to her this way, the text emphasizes Bathsheba's existing marriage to Uriah and the adulterous nature of the relationship that she and David have.
