The word "Bethsabee" is derived from the Hebrew name "בַת־שֶׁבַע" (Bathsheba), meaning "daughter of Sheba". It is a compound of two Hebrew words: "בַּת" (bat), which means “daughter,” and "שֶׁבַע" (Sheba), which can refer to a place or be interpreted as "seven". In the Old Testament, Bathsheba was a central character in the story of King David, known for her beauty and involvement in the adultery with David. Over time, the name Bathsheba, and variations of it, including "Bethsabee", have been used in different cultures and languages.
