From this chapter and other passages where Nathan is mentioned (2 Sa. 12:1-15,
25; Ki. I passim; 4:5), work out what an important place he had in the lives of
David and of Solomon. The revelation here made to him and through him to David
is one of the chief Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament, and had a
profound influence upon the development of the Messianic hope. Cf., e.g., Ps.
89:26, 27; Lk. 1:33; Heb. 1:5.

In what sense did God deny David’s desire, in what way modify it, and in what
way answer it above all that David asked or thought? Note especially verses 4, 10b, 12a. Have you
had any comparable experience of the Lord’s, dealing in your own life?
