…the middle-eastern flavored “Mad About You” was inspired by the adulterous relationship of King David and Uriah’s wife, Bathsheba—later, mother of King Solomon.

(In the biblical story, of course, David arranged for Uriah to be slewn in battle, later being exposed in that guilt by the prophet Nathan.)
