Berean Strong's Lexicon Ourias: Uriah Original Word: Οὐρίας Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name אוּרִיָּה (Uriah), Strong's Hebrew 223. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 223: אוּרִיָּה (Uriah) Usage: The name "Uriah" means "Yahweh is my light" or "flame of Yahweh." In the New Testament, Ourias refers to Uriah the Hittite, a notable figure in the Old Testament narrative. Cultural and Historical Background: Uriah the Hittite was a soldier in King David's army and the husband of Bathsheba. He is most famously known for his role in the events leading to King David's sin with Bathsheba and the subsequent murder of Uriah, as recorded in 2 Samuel 11. Uriah's loyalty and integrity stand in stark contrast to David's actions during this period. As a Hittite, Uriah was a foreigner by descent, yet he was fully integrated into Israelite society and faith, serving in the king's elite forces.
