Uriah (Bathsheba's husband living at the time of United Monarchy) - Fact Book

First, in plain English

Uriah the Hittite, one of David's best soldiers and Bathsheba's husband. David got her pregnant while he was at war and tried to get him to go home to her, and Uriah would not while his comrades were still in the field. So David had him put where the fighting was worst and left there to die.

Who this is

Uriah the Hittite was one of David's elite soldiers, married to Bathsheba, and after David got Bathsheba pregnant while Uriah was away at war, David tried repeatedly to get Uriah to sleep with his own wife to cover up the affair. Uriah refused out of loyalty to his fellow soldiers still in the field, so David had him placed at the front of the fiercest fighting and then abandoned there, engineering his death.
