Uriah

2 Samuel 11:3, 6 And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite...

2 Samuel 12:9 Why have you despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? you have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword...

1 Kings 15:5 Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD...

1 Chronicles 11:41 Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai,

Matthew 1:6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;

2 Samuel 23:13 And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam...

1st Chronicles, there are sixteen added!
