He also asked them to be positive in their outlook and to return with samples of local produce. When ten of the twel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Uriah The Hittite
Uriah the Hittite ( ''ʾŪrīyyā haḤītī'') is a minor figure in the Hebrew Bible, mentioned in the Books of Samuel, an elite soldier in the army of David, king of Israel and Judah, and the husband of Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam.
