WHO WAS URIAH IN THE BIBLE: DISCOVER THE STORY OF URIAH, BATHSHEBA'S HUSBAND

Uriah was a Hittite who served as a soldier in David's army in Israel. Although he was a foreigner, Uriah lived in Jerusalem, and his name meant "my light is Yahweh." Uriah was married to Bathsheba, and his story in the Bible is particularly known for the sad episode of King David's adultery with his wife. While Uriah was at war, David saw Bathsheba bathing from his palace and sent for her. David was informed that Bathsheba was Uriah's wife, but he did not back down from his intentions.

Later, when David discovered that Bathsheba was pregnant, he devised a plan to cover up his mistake. David summoned Uriah, who was on the battlefield, with the intention of sending him home to justify Bathsheba's pregnancy. However, Uriah refused the comfort offered by the king. David then realized he couldn't get Uriah to be with Bathsheba, so he ordered Joab to place Uriah on the front lines of the battle to be killed.

After Uriah's death, David took Bathsheba as his wife. However, God sent the prophet Nathan to confront David and pronounced a judgment on his house. Uriah was betrayed by the king he admired and had sworn loyalty to, and his story is proof that apart from God's grace, anyone is capable of committing terrible deeds.
