God sent Nathan to David. Nathan told a story. A rich man had many sheep. A poor man had one little lamb. He loved it like a child. The rich man took the poor man's lamb.

David got very angry. He said, That man did wrong! Nathan said, You are the man! David had done wrong too.

David said, I have sinned against the Lord. Nathan said God had put away his sin. But sad things still came. David's baby got sick and died. Later God gave David and Bathsheba a son named Solomon. The Lord loved him.
