S1 Ep165 - 2 Samuel 12

Nathan rebukes David in chapter 12. He tells him a story about a rich man and a poor man. When the rich man had a visitor, he killed the one little ewe lamb that belonged to the poor man, rather than taking one of his own many sheep, and served it to the traveler.

David was livid! He was ready to put the man to death!

“Then Nathan said to David, ‘You are the man!’” (Verse 7)

Nathan tells David that calamity is going to come on his house. People are going to sleep with his wives in broad daylight (although he did it in secret).

David repents. The Lord takes away his sin but the son born to David has to die. And he does.

Later, David goes to Bathsheba again and she gets pregnant with Solomon.

At the end of the chapter, Joab fights against Rabbah of the Ammonites and captures the royal citadel.

He says, “I have fought against Rabbah and taken its water supply. Now muster the rest of the troops and besiege the city and capture it. Otherwise I will take the city, and it will be named after me.” Hmmm…
