During the Ammonite war, Uriah disobeyed King David by refusing to go to his house to sleep because it would be unpatriotic to break his military vow. Uriah was a loyal and upright soldier who put the interests of his country above his own comfort. He was among the warriors fighting for the Israelite army against the Ammonites. When King David heard that Bathsheba, Uriah's wife, was beautiful, he summoned her to the palace and slept with her. She later became pregnant. In a bid to cover his tracks, David called Uriah back from the battle and asked him to go home to sleep with his wife, but Uriah refused to do so, stating that it would be unpatriotic to enjoy the comforts of home while his fellow soldiers were still at war.
