In most of us there is a mixture of our carnal and spiritual lives, but these two are possessed by David in the extreme. His nobility of character and reliance on God are demonstrated by his psalms and by the way he treats his enemies. However, his lust and betrayal of his loyal supporter Uriah come to the forefront in the story of David with Bathsheba.
