突然間，達味展現了他性格中陰暗的一面。他貪得無厭，即便他已經擁有了一切。為了挽回顏面，他試圖讓烏黎雅去見他的妻子。

士兵的忠誠與國王的邪惡行為不羈形成了鮮明的對比。烏黎雅甚至將自己的死刑命令忠誠地交給了將軍，而將軍最後想辦法使敵人殺掉他。

透過這種對比，作者清楚地教導讀者，他們也應該如何行事，即使順服天主可能會給他們帶來傷害。

Suddenly, David shows a dark side of his character. He wants more, even if he already has everything. Then he wants to save his face and tries to have Uriah go to his wife.

The faithfulness of the soldier contrasts sharply with the wanton behavior of the king. He even delivers the order of his own death to the general who then will have him killed.

By describing such contrast, the author clearly teaches the readers what they should do, even if their obedience to God may cause them harm.
