[Bathsebah's] grandfather 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.

What does Bat mean in Hebrew? What does Sheba mean in Hebrew? Oh that's right. Bat means «daughter of» (as compared to bar/ben which means «son of») and Sheba means «Ethiopia». How many people in the bible are called Batsheba?
As I pointed out earlier, the "sheba" in "Bathsheba" means "an oath". The "Sheba" in "queen of Sheba" is actually a different Hebrew word.

No no dude was a Hittite. Abrahams wife was a Hittite.

No one on this thread said black were the true Hebrews only that there were Africans coming and going around Israle in Davids time.

And apparently the Hittites were black people and descendants of Ham. Ref. Genesis 10:15ff. They were descendants of Ham (which means Black) through his son Canaan.
Satisfied?
Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites (descendants of Heth according to Strong's and NAS) [NIV] Genesis 10.15
Hittites were originally from Africa and descendants of Heth, the son of Canaan, grandson of Ham. Hameth is the Arabic name for Egypt, and it means lit «The Black People». The word Alchemy comes from Arabic Al-Hameth, which means «From the Black Land/Egypt»
The Hittites occupied the region of Anatolia (also known as Asia Minor, modern-day Turkey) prior to 1700 BCE, developed a culture apparently from the indigenous Hatti (and possibly the Hurrian) people, and expanded their territories into an empire which rivaled, and threatened, the established nation of Egypt.
