1 Chronicles 10-14
David wasn't alone in his quest for domination of the land God had promised to the Israelites... he also had a large number of valiant warriors who fought alongside him. Men who risked their lives for God, David, and Israel. Their support for David was so great that three of them broke through enemy lines simply so that they could get a drink of water for David from the well by the gate in Bethlehem.
Given their loyalty to David, it is especially unnerving to see, right there in the middle of the list of David's Mighty Men, the name Uriah the Hittite. David's infidelity was a betrayal, not only of one of Israel's soldiers, but of one who would lay down his life for his king.
