Uriah the Hittite or Hittite, was a soldier in the army of King David, one of the so-called quot; brave David quot;. After he refused to visit his wife Bathsheba, against the orders of David to disguise his adultery with Bathsheba, the King sent him to death, ordering the soldiers that they deviating from it in battle, to expose it to the enemy. Uriah happened to posterity as the example of a victim of adultery, to whom their own righteousness condemns him to be victim of one greater crime.
