  • Smith's Bible Dictionary - Mother -

    The superiority of the Hebrew over all contemporaneous systems
    of legislation and of morals is strongly shown in the higher
    estimation of the mother in the Jewish family, as contrasted
    with modern Oriental as well as ancient Oriental and classical
    usage. The king's mother, as appears in the case of
    Bath-sheba, was treated with special honor.
