Is there a particular scripture that tells that Bathsheba was an Israelite?<\/p>\n\t
Bathsheba was married to a Hittite, but we can surmise that she was an Israelite because her father’s name was Eliam (II Samuel 11:3) or Ammiel (I Chronicles 3:5). These names are Hebrew. Eliam means “God of the people” and Ammiel means “people of God.” There was an Eliam among David’s mighty men (II Samuel 23:34) and some wonder if Bathsheba was his daughter. If so they are from the city of Giloh, believed to be a suburb on the south side of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n
There was an Ammiel among the sons of Korah who served as a gatekeeper in the Temple. If Bathsheba was his daughter, then she would have been a Levite. There was also an Ammiel who had a son named Machir from Lo Debar, a town just south of the Sea of Galilee on the eastern side of the Jordan. I suspect that this Ammiel was too old to be Bathsheba’s father.<\/p>\n
Of course, it is also possible that none of these men was the father of Bathsheba. But we do know that he carried a Hebrew name, so he was very likely an Israelite. Bathsheba’s name also has meaning in Hebrew, it means “daughter of an oath.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
