wifee Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 3a)David has the power to have Nathan killed if he didn’t like what he was told. Device is Projection, storytelling-Nathan sets up a comparison with similar situation as David’s that he could get emotional/angry about but with different names to allow David to make a judgement without realising he is judging himself. C)When David had spoken out that the rich man was sinner needing judgement, Nathan was able to help him apply hat story to what David had done.Logic was finished, he had to be accountable as a leader. David saw more easily his need for forgiveness and repentance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karynjg Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 (2 Samuel 12:1-10) Why might it be dangerous for Nathan the prophet to confront the king? What device does Nathan employ get the king to listen to him? How does David's condemnation of the rich man's greed help him acknowledge and condemn his own actions? Nathan risks his life when he confronts King David with his sin. Nathan used a wise tactic to approach David with a story of a similar situation and gets David to agree that this was rebellious sin against God. David had been rebelling against God's commands, but he listens to Nathan's harsh words, recognizes that God is speaking to him, and repents of his sin.

crissy464 Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 David listened to Nathan, Nathan was very brave he could have been killed. But David had done worst than the man in Nathan’s story he had murdered someone so he could have his wife His first child died as punishment from God for David's adultery and murder of Uriah.

Irmela Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Q3. (2 Samuel 12:1-10) Why might it be dangerous for Nathan the prophet to confront the king? What device does Nathan employ to get the king to listen to him? How does David's condemnation of the rich man's greed help him acknowledge and condemn his own actions? The king could do anything to Nathan. (Bind him and imprison him and worse even kill him.) Nathan bravely tells the king a story or parable wherein it is easy to see what had transpired, as though looking in a mirror. David often had to be judge in things that happened and would have to give his verdict . That was the type of story that Nathan used. Not something far-fetched, but something real. David judged the rich man and when Nathan pointed out that it is actually, he himself. David broke down and acknowledged his sin. He recognized that not only had he sinned against man but also against God. He repented , but paid dearly for the sin he had committed.
