When Uriah Tarhund's Hittite home is destroyed by invading Greeks, his dying father tells him to go seek a Canaanite named Sisera, "He will help you. For my sake...." When Uriah reaches Judea and saves a young boy from being sacrificed to Molech, he is given succor for a time by the Hebrews. Later, he finds Sisera and joins him in war against these same people. When the Canaanites are defeated, the young Hittite has the opportunity to come to a peace with himself, the Hebrew people and their God.
