Nathan’s parable set a trap that David walked right into—and in doing so,

he condemned himself. Believing the story about the rich man’s senseless

theft of the poor man’s beloved ewe lamb to be real, David was furious. As

a shepherd-turned-king, he knew both the value of sheep and the

injustice of such an act. He declared that the guilty man deserved to die

and should make fourfold restitution (2 Samuel 12:5–6). He even swore

by the name of the Lord, perhaps hoping to demonstrate his own

commitment to justice—or to ease his conscience by punishing someone

else’s greed.
