because he slept with Bathsheba (Uriah's wife) and she became pregnant. David was afraid people would find out he slept with her so he murdered uriah and married Bathsheba. that way the baby is his and people won't think he slept with her when she wasn't married to him. he did to cover his sin.
Uriah the Hittite.
Uriah the Hittite and later of David
It was uriah the hittite
Before marrying King David, Bathsheba was the wife of Uriah the Hittite, whom David strategically placed in a dangerous part of battle in order that he would be killed and David would be free to marry Bathsheba.
Uriah the Hittite, from the Old Testament, died in battle during the Siege of Rabbah. King David sent him to the front lines to be killed so he could marry Uriah's wife, Bathsheba.
He is the main character in the book. He is the Hittite Warrior.
This probably refers to Uriah Heep, the villain of Charles Dickens' DAVID COPPERFIELD, although it could also be a reference to the earlier Uriah the Hittite from the Old Testament, whom King David had sent to the front lines of battle because he knows he'll be killed there. David was in love with his wife, and he wanted Uriah out of the way. Dickens was undoubtedly playing off of this David vs. Uriah tale in writing DAVID COPPERFIELD and constructing the David-Agnes-Uriah love struggle there.
The Bible records two. The first being Uriah the Hittite. The second being David King of Israel.
Uriah was a Hittite soldier in King David's army. He was married to Bathsheba, and David arranged for him to be placed in the frontline of battle in order to be killed, so that David could take Bathsheba as his own wife. This act led to consequences for David and his kingdom.
Short answer:Basically, yes. David didn't want Uriah to find out he (David) had made his wife Bathsheba pregnant, so he had him killed and married his wife.
probably Uriah-Tarhund
