Uriah

Uriah, husband of Bathsheba:

2 Samuel 11:6. And David sent to Joab saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7. And when Uriah had come to him, David asked of him how Joab did and how the people did and how the war prospered. 8. And David said to Uriah, Go down to your house and wash your feet. And Uriah left the king’s house and a present from the king followed him. 9. But Uriah slept at the entrance of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house. 10. And when they had told David, saying, Uriah did not go down to his house, David said to Uriah, Haven’t you come from your journey? Why did you not go down to your house?
