2 Samuel chapter 12 tells of the prophet Nathan rebuking David for taking Bathsheba and arranging for the death of her husband Uriah. David's story shifts from successes to troubles after this pivotal sin. It shows that while believers are saved by grace, sin still has its devastating consequences. Not only the infant son of David would die but the son of David Jesus Christ would pay for this sin. Yet David's response to Nathan's rebuke is not defensive or defiant as was David's predecessor, King Saul. David responds with humble repentance, knowing God is merciful yet accepting the consequences without grumbling.
