Did you know that in Nathan's parable, the prophet got King David to sentence himself by telling him about a rich man who stole a poor man's only lamb?
Nathan's parable, also called the parable of the ewe lamb or the poor man's lamb (Hebrew: כִּבְשַׂת הָרָשׁ, romanized: Kivsat ha-rash), is a parable in the Hebrew Bible, told by the prophet Nathan to King David in 2 Samuel 12:1–4. Nathan presents it as a legal case about a rich man who takes the only lamb of his poor neighbor. When David condemns the rich man, Nathan replies "Thou art the man" and reveals that the story is about David's own adultery with Bathsheba and the killing of her husband, Uriah the Hittite.
