That night, the Lord told Nathan
Then after commanding them to listen carefully, he said: “I, the Lord, speak to prophets in visions and dreams.
Whatever the Lord God plans to do, he tells his servants, the prophets.
Nathan replied, “The Lord is with you, so do what you want!”
to go to David and give him this message: David, you are my servant, so listen to what I say. Why should you build a temple for me?
and he sent Nathan the prophet to tell this story to David: A rich man and a poor man lived in the same town.
