Usage: The name Οὐρίας (Uriah) is used in the New Testament to refer to Uriah the Hittite, a notable figure in the Old Testament.

Context: Οὐρίας (Uriah) is a significant biblical figure known primarily from the Old Testament narrative. Uriah the Hittite was a valiant warrior in King David's army and the husband of Bathsheba. His story is pivotal in the account of David's moral failure and subsequent repentance.

In the New Testament, Uriah is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew 1:6 (BSB) states, "and Jesse the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Uriah’s wife." This reference highlights the lineage of Jesus and underscores the grace and redemption woven throughout His ancestry, despite human failings.

Uriah's inclusion in the genealogy serves as a reminder of the complex and often flawed human history through which God's purposes are fulfilled. His story is a testament to the themes of justice, repentance, and divine sovereignty.
