The LORD sent Nathan to David. When he came to him, he said, "There were two men in a certain town, one rich and the other poor. The rich man had a very large number of sheep and cattle, but the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food, drank from his cup and even slept in his arms. It was like a daughter to him. "Now a traveler came to the rich man, but the rich man refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare a meal for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the ewe lamb that belonged to the poor man and prepared it for the one who had come to him." David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan, "As surely as the LORD lives, the man who did this deserves to die! He must pay for that lamb four times over, because he did such a thing and had no pity." Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man! "

拿单当面谴责一国之君，这需要何等的勇气，他要甘冒杀头的危险。拿单是位先知，先知的职责就是揭露同胞的罪孽，传扬神的公义。普通人的罪要揭露，君王的罪同样要揭露。大卫作为军队统帅，不爱惜部下，竟然还夺他的妻子，进而谋杀了赫人乌利亚这位有功之臣。大卫是君王，他谋色害命，谁也不敢管他，但是就算众人害怕，神的仆人也不能怕。神的仆人只有两件要紧的事要做，一是为公义呐喊，二是去爱邻居。很多的教会怕得罪人、得罪官员，对社会上的罪是睁一只眼闭一只眼，或者干脆两个眼全闭。对罪恶的揭露，今天这付担子就自然而然地落在了家庭教会身上。佛教，儒教，以及基督教三自爱国会都不会对罪大声疾呼。

耶和华差遣拿单去见大卫。拿单到了大卫那里，对他说：“在一座城里有两个人：一个是富户；一个是穷人。 富户有许多牛群羊群；穷人除了所买来养活的一只小母羊羔之外，别无所有。羊羔在他家里和他儿女一同长大，吃他所吃的，喝他所喝的，睡在他怀中，在他看来如同女儿一样。有一客人来到这富户家里，富户舍不得从自己的牛群羊群中，取一只预备给客人吃；却取了那穷人的羊羔，预备给客人吃。” 大卫就甚恼怒那人，对拿单说：“我指着永生的耶和华起誓，行这事的人该死！他必偿还羊羔四倍，因为他行这事，没有怜恤的心。”拿单对大卫说：“你就是那人！”撒母耳记下12：1-17
