Mark Visser picks up again on the Lessons from the Life of David series looking at David as The Repentant King. When David is told a parable by Nathan the prophet about a rich man taking a poor mans only lamb to eat it, David becomes angry until Nathan tells David he is the rich man and Uriah is the poor man. David's response to Nathan's revelation is why God calls David "a man after my own heart". There is more to the story than just this.
