Uriah (Hebrew: אוריה הכהן, romanized: ʾŪrīyyā haKōhēn), in the Book of Kings, was a High Priest of Israel who served during the reign of Ahaz.
[2] Metzudat David [he] identify Uriah with Amarya (II) in the line of priests of the sons of Zadok,[3] and list Uriah's father as Azariah, and list him as having a son name Ahituv.
[4] He is referred to as "Urias" by Josephus,[5] and as "Urijah" by the Seder Olam Zutta.
Uriah supervised the construction, so that when Ahaz returned from Damascus to Jerusalem, the altar was complete.
[10] Rabbi Isaac Luria identifies Uriah having been buried close to Har Meron, a place that is now located in the Baal Shem Tov Forest, about 100 meters east of the grave of רב ייבא סבא [he].
