From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Urea \U"re*a\, a. [NL. See {Urine}.] (Physiol. Chem.)       A very soluble crystalline body which is the chief       constituent of the urine in mammals and some other animals.       It is also present in small quantity in blood, serous fluids,       lymph, the liver, etc.          Note: It is the main product of the regressive metamorphosis                (katabolism) of proteid matter in the body, and is                excreted daily to the amount of about 500 grains by a                man of average weight. Chemically it is carbamide,                {CO(NH2)2}, and when heated with strong acids or                alkalies is decomposed into carbonic acid and ammonia.                It unites with acids to form salts, as nitrate of urea,                and it can be made synthetically from ammonium cyanate,                with which it is isomeric.          {Urea ferment}, a soluble ferment formed by certain bacteria,             which, however, yield the ferment from the body of their             cells only after they have been killed by alcohol. It             causes urea to take up water and decompose into carbonic             acid and ammonia. Many different bacteria possess this             property, especially {Bacterium ure[91]} and {Micrococcus             ure[91]}, which are found abundantly in urines undergoing             alkaline fermentation.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ur       light, or the moon city, a city "of the Chaldees," the       birthplace of Haran (Gen. 11:28,31), the largest city of Shinar       or northern Chaldea, and the principal commercial centre of the       country as well as the centre of political power. It stood near       the mouth of the Euphrates, on its western bank, and is       represented by the mounds (of bricks cemented by bitumen) of       el-Mugheir, i.e., "the bitumined," or "the town of bitumen," now       150 miles from the sea and some 6 miles from the Euphrates, a       little above the point where it receives the Shat el-Hie, an       affluent from the Tigris. It was formerly a maritime city, as       the waters of the Persian Gulf reached thus far inland. Ur was       the port of Babylonia, whence trade was carried on with the       dwellers on the gulf, and with the distant countries of India,       Ethiopia, and Egypt. It was abandoned about B.C. 500, but long       continued, like Erech, to be a great sacred cemetery city, as is       evident from the number of tombs found there. (See {ABRAHAM}.)                The oldest king of Ur known to us is Ur-Ba'u (servant of the       goddess Ba'u), as Hommel reads the name, or Ur-Gur, as others       read it. He lived some twenty-eight hundred years B.C., and took       part in building the famous temple of the moon-god Sin in Ur       itself. The illustration here given represents his cuneiform       inscription, written in the Sumerian language, and stamped upon       every brick of the temple in Ur. It reads: "Ur-Ba'u, king of Ur,       who built the temple of the moon-god."                "Ur was consecrated to the worship of Sin, the Babylonian       moon-god. It shared this honour, however, with another city, and       this city was Haran, or Harran. Harran was in Mesopotamia, and       took its name from the highroad which led through it from the       east to the west. The name is Babylonian, and bears witness to       its having been founded by a Babylonian king. The same witness       is still more decisively borne by the worship paid in it to the       Babylonian moon-god and by its ancient temple of Sin. Indeed,       the temple of the moon-god at Harran was perhaps even more       famous in the Assyrian and Babylonian world than the temple of       the moon-god at Ur.                "Between Ur and Harran there must, consequently, have been a       close connection in early times, the record of which has not yet       been recovered. It may be that Harran owed its foundation to a       king of Ur; at any rate the two cities were bound together by       the worship of the same deity, the closest and most enduring       bond of union that existed in the ancient world. That Terah       should have migrated from Ur to Harran, therefore, ceases to be       extraordinary. If he left Ur at all, it was the most natural       place to which to go. It was like passing from one court of a       temple into another.                "Such a remarkable coincidence between the Biblical narrative       and the evidence of archaeological research cannot be the result       of chance. The narrative must be historical; no writer of late       date, even if he were a Babylonian, could have invented a story       so exactly in accordance with what we now know to have been the       truth. For a story of the kind to have been the invention of       Palestinian tradition is equally impossible. To the unprejudiced       mind there is no escape from the conclusion that the history of       the migration of Terah from Ur to Harran is founded on fact"       (Sayce).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Uriah       the Lord is my light. (1.) A Hittite, the husband of Bathsheba,       whom David first seduced, and then after Uriah's death married.       He was one of the band of David's "mighty men." The sad story of       the curel wrongs inflicted upon him by David and of his mournful       death are simply told in the sacred record (2 Sam. 11:2-12:26).       (See {BATHSHEBA}; {DAVID}.)                (2.) A priest of the house of Ahaz (Isa. 8:2).                (3.) The father of Meremoth, mentioned in Ezra 8:33.
