2 Samuel 12:1
am 2970, bc 1034, An, Ex, Is, 457 the Lord: 2Sa 7:1-5, 2Sa 24:11-13, 1Ki 13:1, 1Ki 18:1, 2Ki 1:3 unto David: 2Sa 11:10-17, 2Sa 11:25, 2Sa 14:14, Isa 57:17, Isa 57:18 he came: Psa 51:1, *title There were: There is nothing in this parable which requires illustration. 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. 2Sa 14:5-11, Jdg 9:7-15, 1Ki 20:35-41, Isa 5:1-7, Mat 21:33-45, Luk 15:11-32, Luk 16:19-31 Reciprocal: Jdg 3:20 - I have 2Sa 5:14 - Nathan 2Sa 7:2 - Nathan 2Sa 12:25 - Nathan 1Ki 1:8 - Nathan 1Ki 1:10 - General 1Ki 4:5 - son of Nathan 1Ki 20:39 - Thy servant 2Ki 14:9 - The thistle 1Ch 3:5 - Nathan 1Ch 14:4 - Nathan 1Ch 17:1 - Nathan 1Ch 29:29 - Nathan 2Ch 9:29 - Nathan 2Ch 25:7 - a man of God 2Ch 25:15 - a prophet 2Ch 29:25 - Nathan Psa 32:3 - When Isa 39:3 - came Isaiah Jer 22:1 - Go Eze 17:2 - General Zec 12:12 - Nathan Mat 13:3 - in Gal 6:1 - restore
