Thanks, Nikolaos. This brings up a couple more questions.
1. I can't find γυνῆς GUNH=S at Perseus--just γυνή GUNH/, or I'd look this up
myself. Is there any lexical difference between the two words--such as one
carrying a more spousal implication than the other?
2. Can such a word be assumed in normal Greek writing? I guess the other
possibility is that it was dropped somewhere in transmission.
Daniel

τὸν Σολομῶντα ἐκ τῆς (γυνῆς or γυναικὸς) τοῦ Οὐρίου
of Solomon, from Uriah’s wife
In general terms when there are two articles they refer to to
different nouns - but sometimes one of these nouns is assumed as it is
the case here.
