Bathsheba was the wife of Uriah. David arranged to have Uriah killed in battle so that he could take up with Bathsheba, who later gave birth to Solomon. Solomon's relations with Sheba, in turn, suggest a sexual element to this relationship. The Ethiopian book, Kebra Negast, with ancient origins and first recorded in writing a thousand years ago, reports a sexual liaison between Solomon and Sheba, leading to the birth of Menelik who started the Ethiopian Solomonic lineage purportedly leading to Haile Selaisse. It seems unusual that these two female characters would be two unrelated people. In just one generation, there are two women seduced by Jewish kings and giving birth to kings, themselves, with names that are nearly the same. There is a suggestion, further, that both women were outsiders--Bathsheba was married to a Hittite (an Anatolian culture), while Sheba was Ethiopian (or possibly from Saba or Yemen). Thus, both Shebas appear to have been outsiders who were seduced and impregnated by Jewish kings and whose sons, in turn became kings. This answer is surmise, not established fact. Bozarts
No, she was not. Both of her parents were Israelite. Just as today, Israelites came in differing skin-tones, heights, and body-types. Our tradition is that the twelve sons of Jacob (the 12 Tribes) were not completely similar to each other in appearance, though not one of them was really dark-skinned (Rashi commentary on Genesis 12:11).
DNA testing of Jewish communities worldwide has shown that they are all interrelated and of Middle Eastern genetics, not African or Egyptian.
In 2000, the analysis of a report by Nicholas Wade "provided genetic witness that Jewish communities have, to a remarkable extent, retained their biological identity separate from their host populations. The results accord with Jewish history and tradition."

Abraham and Sarah came from southern Iraq and their wider family from northern Iraq. Since DNA tests have shown that Jews intermarried infrequently throughout history, Abraham and his Israelite descendants probably looked like Jews today.
DNA testing of Jewish communities worldwide has shown that they are all interrelated and of Middle Eastern genetics, comparable to the Sephardim today (not African or Egyptian).
In 2000, the analysis of a report by Nicholas Wade "provided genetic witness that Jewish communities have, to a remarkable extent, retained their biological identity separate from their host populations, evidence of relatively little intermarriage or conversion into Judaism over the centuries. The results accord with Jewish history and tradition."
Bathsheba was not a Hebrew. Her first husband was Uriah a man from the line of Ham. There is no direct statement that Bathsheba is a Hamite, but her grandfather was Ahithophel (David's African counselor). In 2 Samuel 11:3 we are told that Bathsheba's father is Eliam, but it isn't until 2 Samuel 23 that we find out that Bathsheba's grandfather is a Gilonite. "Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the Maachathite, Eliam the son of Ahithophel...
Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah
Bathsheba, her husband was Uriah at the time that she slept with King David.
She was a Hebrew.
It appears that Bathsheba was unaware anyone was observing her.
On of the popular facts about King David, is his sin that caused a crack in his character. He slept with Bathsheba, a married woman, who he saw on the rooftops. His son by Bathsheba fell ill as the prophet Nathan had told him it would. This was the punishment for his sin. He also killed the husband to Bathsheba because he refused to sleep at home with his wife when he was called from war because he thought it unfair to his fellow soldiers.

Uriah was the husband of Bathsheba.
King David (a married man) had sex with, and impregnated, Bathsheba, a married woman. When Uriah, Bathsheba's husband, did not follow David's orders (which would have covered up who impregnated Bathsheba), David had Uriah killed in battle. The baby, conceived by David and Bathsheba, died after it was born. David was forgiven, but, his sons and daughters suffered for having a wicked father and king. David was not allowed to build a Holy temple to God in Jerusalem. His son, Solomon, was allowed that privilege.
