Who was Uriah the Hittite?
Uriah was Bathsheba's husband and a soldier in David's army. David arranged for him to be placed in deadly danger. The account places responsibility for this wrongdoing on the king and those carrying out the plan.
Uriah's concern for his fellow soldiers is contrasted with David's misuse of power. His death must not be treated as a deserved result or a minor obstacle in David's story.
