Exegesis
The restrictive particle raq {רַק | raq} sharply limits the exception, and bidvar ʾuriyyah ha-ḥittî {בִּדְבַר אוּרִיָּה הַחִתִּי | bidvar ʾûrîyāh ha-ḥittî} specifies it as a single notorious “matter,” producing a rhetorical contrast between overarching obedience and one defining breach.

In context — 1 Kings 15:5
Because David did what was right in the eyes of the LORD , he did not turn aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
