PHARAOH’S DAUGHTER
1. Egyptian princess who rescued the infant Moses and adopted him as her own son (Ex 2:5-10; Acts 7:21; Heb 11:24). If one accepts an early date for the exodus, this foster mother of Moses could have been Hatshepsut. Some scholars who accept a later date for the exodus believe the pharaoh of the oppression was Ramses II; if so, this princess may have been the daughter of Seti I or the daughter of a pharaoh of the later 18th dynasty. It is likely that she was born to a concubine from a royal harem near the region of Goshen.
2. An Egyptian princess, one of the two wives of Mered (a descendant of Caleb) who gave birth to three children (1 Chr 4:17). Her name, Bithiah (meaning “daughter of the Lord”), implies that she was converted to the worship of Israel’s God. It is not known which pharaoh was her father.
3. Princess whom Solomon married in order to seal an alliance with Egypt. Her father was probably Siamun (978–959 BC). He gave to Solomon the town of Gezer as a marriage dowry (1 Kgs 3:1; 9:16; 11:1). Solomon built her a palace in Jerusalem because he would not have her live in David’s house (1 Kgs 7:8; 9:24; 2 Chr 8:11).
