I am unaware of any Biblical definition of ‘nation’, maybe ‘medinah’? Hebrew ‘am’ is ‘people of’. An Israelite is born of a Jewish mother or a convert according to traditional Jewish law.

By that reckoning, King David wasn't Israelite -- his great-grandmother was Ruth the Moabitess, and his great-great-grandmother was Rahab the Jericho-ite
