2 Samuel 12

God sends Nathan to confront David through the parable of a rich man who stole a poor man’s beloved lamb. When David angrily condemns the man, Nathan declares, “You are the man.” David repents deeply, but God allows consequences: the child born to Bathsheba dies. David grieves, fasts, and then worships the Lord after the child’s death, accepting God’s judgment. God later brings comfort through the birth of Solomon—named “Jedidiah,” beloved of the Lord. The chapter shows both the severe mercy and the healing grace of God toward a repentant heart.

Foreshadowing of Christ: The innocent “lamb” in Nathan’s parable points forward to Christ, the true Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
