Hosea

Samuel

Amos

Nathan

Answer Details

The prophet who rebuked King David for his adultery with Uriah's wife was Nathan. Nathan was a prophet who served during the reigns of both King David and his son, King Solomon. In 2 Samuel 12, Nathan confronts King David after he has committed adultery with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite, and then arranged for Uriah to be killed in battle. Nathan tells David a story about a rich man who steals a poor man's only lamb, and then reveals that the story is a metaphor for David's own actions. Nathan rebukes David for his sin and warns him of the consequences that will follow. Nathan's rebuke of David is significant because it shows that even kings are subject to God's law and must be held accountable for their actions. It also demonstrates the importance of prophets in speaking truth to power and calling out injustice, even when it may be unpopular or dangerous to do so.
