Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼One of those clues that I was referring to, unusual references to common entries, I don’t know a bit about any of the soldiers in King David’s army (Hi, fellow heathens!). This guy, it turns out, was also Bathsheba’s husband, which is a slightly commoner clue for him. He also inspired an unctuous Dickens character, URIAH Heep, who inspired the name of a big classic rock band — these are the references I recognize. But gleaning new knowledge from the clues as well as the entries doubles the fun, as far as I’m concerned.
