2 Samuel 11:
2 One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, 3and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.”
Bathsheba's husband was a Hittite. What's the probability that she was a Hittite as well?
We are not told what nationality Bathsheba was or had. However, we have the following:
The above data strongly suggests that Bathsheba was both Hebrew and descended from Hebrews, but there are other people with Hebrew names that were not Hebrew such as Uriah himself (a Hebrew name meaning "YHWH is my light") who was Hittite. However, such exceptions are usually noted in the text (as per Uriah) which is absent for Bathsheba.
On the balance of evidence, it is highly probable that Bathsheba was a Hebrew girl.
The above conclusion should be tentative because of the difficulty in even defining what a Hebrew is because Boaz' mother was a Caanaite woman but was still counted as Hebrew; the same is true for Moses' children whose mother was also not a biological Hebrew; the same is true of Judah's children whose mother was Tamar, etc, etc.
