2 Samuel 12:1-13
1 Nathan's parable of the ewe lamb causes David to be his own judge.7 David, reproved by Nathan, confesses his sin, and is pardoned.15 David mourns and prays for the child while it lives.24 Solomon is born, and named Jedidiah.26 David takes Rabbah, and tortures the people thereof.

Its bent is evident; and it was wisely constructed, by not having too near a resemblance, to make David unwittingly pass sentence on himself. The parable was in David's hand what his own letter was in the hands of the brave Uriah. Nathan at length closed in with him in the application of it. In beginning with a parable he shewed his prudence, and great need there is of prudence in giving reproof; but now he speaks as an ambassador from God. He reminds David of the great things God had designed and done for him, and then charges him with a high contempt of the Divine authority, and threatens an entail of judgments upon his family for this sin. Those who despise the word and law of God, despise God himself, and will assuredly suffer for such contempt. 14:5-11; Jud 9:7-15; 1Ki 20:35-41; Isa 5:1-7; Mt 21:33-45Lu 15:11-32; 16:19-31 exceeding.8; 3:2-5; 5:13-16; 15:16; Job 1:3 one little.11:3; Pr 5:18,19meat.

Such phrases in Scripture do not mean that God either does or can do evil himself; but only that he permits such evil to be done as he foresaw would be done, and which, had he pleased, he might have prevented. 16:21,22; De 28:30; Eze 14:9; 20:25,26; Ho 4:13,14 secretly.11:4,8,13,15; Ec 12:14; Lu 12:1,2; 1Co 4:5 David.1Sa 15:20,24; 1Ki 13:4; 21:20; 22:8; 2Ki 1:9; 2Ch 16:10; 24:20-222Ch 25:16; Mt 14:3-5,10I have sinned.24:10; 1Sa 15:24,25,30; Job 7:20; 33:27; Ps 32:3-5; 51:4; Pr 25:12Pr 28:13; Lu 15:21; Ac 2:37; 1Jo 1:8-10The Lord.Job 7:21; Ps 32:1,2; 130:3,4; Isa 6:5-7; 38:17; 43:24; 44:22La 3:32; Mic 7:18,19; Zec 3:4; Heb 9:26; 1Jo 1:7,9; 2:1; Re 1:5thou.Le 20:10; Nu 35:31-33; Ps 51:16; Ac 13:38,39; Ro 8:33,34
