Was King Solomon's mother Bathsheba a gentile?

It is quite possible... Note Moses in Leviticus 19 tells Israel to treat strangers as their own people... and both Rahab and Ruth (his great grandmother) are ancestors of King David...

I wouldn't be surprised.

I wouldn't, either. sometimes generations repeat the same things, which can be very good when it's God-led. My family has 4 generations of Catholic men who have received Christ as Saviour by faith before or soon after marriage to Protestants. (My great-grandpa likely saved at Billy Sunday's revival in my town later married my great grandma, a Reformed Church member of Huguenot descent, he left church after being given money to go to Catholic seminary after his parents died & never returned to Catholic church again. heir one daughter, my grandma, married aa Catholic, they left the Catholic church after the priest wouldn't buty their stillborn daughter, they became Presbyterian and he got saved. My mom married my stepdad, a Catholic who trusted Christ as Saviour but still goes just because his friends are there, he doesn't believe any of their teaching. And, a cousin married a Catholic who has trusted CHrist and they often talk of the need for a relationship with Jesus, teach their children the different between what the Bible says and what the Catholic school teaches they send them to; the public schoosl are awful where they live.)

Bathsheba sounds like a Jewish name

from wiki:
King Solomon's son;
King Rehoboam's mother, Naamah, was an Ammonitess, and thus one of the foreign wives whom Solomon married.^[3] In the Revised Version she is referred to as "the Ammonitess". ^[4]
