What was David’s immediate reaction when Nathan told him the parable of the rich man and the poor man’s lamb?

  1. He laughed
  2. He was indifferent
  3. He became angry and said the rich man deserved to die ✓
  4. He confessed his sin immediately

Explanation

When Nathan told a story about a rich man stealing a poor man’s lamb, David became furious. He declared that the rich man deserved death for such cruelty.

David did not realize Nathan was describing David’s own sin with Bathsheba and Uriah. Nathan then said, “You are that man,” making David see his guilt.

This shows how easily we see sin in others while being blind to our own.
