Bathsheba's loyal husband — killed by David's order to cover up an affair
open_in_newA Hittite and one of David's elite warriors (2 Samuel 23:39). While Uriah was faithfully fighting David's war, David slept with his wife Bathsheba. When she became pregnant, David tried to get Uriah to go home to her to cover it up. But Uriah refused to enjoy his home while his fellow soldiers were in the field. David then had him placed at the front of the fiercest battle and ordered the troops to pull back, ensuring his death (2 Samuel 11). One of the most unjust deaths in Scripture.
