3779942 Nathan the prophet renounces the sin of David - Bible by Hole, William Brassey (1846-1917); (add.info.: Nathan the prophet renounces the sin of David. 2 Samuel 12 : 7 -9. And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; 8 And I gave thee thy masters house, and thy masters wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. 9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from biblical history - the scene where Nathan the prophet confronts King David about his sinful actions. In this intense illustration by William Hole, we witness the dramatic exchange between these two figures as Nathan fearlessly denounces David's transgressions. The image beautifully portrays the gravity of the situation, with Nathan pointing an accusatory finger towards David while delivering God's message. The artist skillfully captures the emotions on both faces - David's expression revealing a mix of guilt and realization, and Nathan exuding strength and righteousness. The story depicted here is based on 2 Samuel 12:7-9, where Nathan reminds David of all that God has done for him but also highlights his grave betrayal. It serves as a reminder that even great leaders are not exempt from divine judgment when they stray from their moral path. William Hole's intricate detailing brings this ancient narrative to life, making it relatable across generations. This artwork not only appeals to those interested in religious themes but also attracts admirers of literary arts and historical illustrations. As we contemplate this profound image, let us reflect on our own lives and consider how we can learn from King David's mistakes. May it inspire us to seek forgiveness for our wrongdoings and strive towards living a life aligned with our values and beliefs.
