📚 Historical Context
This verse ends the famous list of David's mighty men - his elite warriors who helped establish and defend his kingdom. Uriah the Hittite is listed last, which is significant because David later had Uriah killed to cover up his affair with Uriah's wife Bathsheba. The inclusion of Uriah's name in this honored list makes David's later betrayal even more tragic, as Uriah was one of his most loyal soldiers.
