Uriah was a sinful man. I only know this because only our King Jesus was sinless. King David was loved by God. We all know this because God Himself told us many times in the Scripture.
King David sinned greatly with the wife of Uriah. The Kng and Uriah's wife were going to have a child and there was no way that Uriah could have been the father. I think the shame of what King David and his wife had done would have been too much for the great Uriah to accept. I have know way of knowing for sure but I think the once proud fighter would have lost his mind. Uriah might have tried to kill himself or even attack the King in a fit of rage. Who knows what could have happened if King David did not have him killed.
I know it was a great sin but I also think that for a warrior to die in battle would have been preferred to a life of shame. I can not think of one other oerson in the bible that never has a single bad thing said about them except our Lord. It was God who preserved Uriah's reputation.
The King's heart was "turned like a river." The great Uriah was left to fight to his death on the battle field, never to know of the sin of his wife and friend. He never had to look at one person who was shaking their head and saying, "I'm so sorry for your Uriah." We all know the shame this would have caused Uriah.
I can only speak for myself and say that if I were Uriah when I saw the Lord I would say, "Thank God for perfect Love."
