It is commonly known that Jesus Christ is a descendant of King David. What is not commonly talked about is how that story fits into the genealogy of Christ. Look to 2 Samuel, chapter 11 for the answer. Matthew 1 gives the genealogy of Jesus and regarding King David says that King David had a son, Solomon. That's cool, so Solomon was in the genealogy of Jesus.
However, the end of vs 6 says that David had Solomon by the 'wife of Uriah'. Uriah was married to Bathsheba.
Read the story in 2 Samuel 11 for the full picture. So, in Jesus' genealogy was an adulterous affair, resulting in a child. That just jumped off the page at me.
