Folks, here's the deal. My father used to say, "Listen, Jack, if you're gonna be a leader, you gotta pay the price." So King David paid the price for his sins, if you know what I mean. I'm not joking. They put him through the wringer. See here, Jack, it was bad. No malarkey.

The prophet Nathan came to David and said, "C'mon, man! What was that? You know you can't get away with this!" And then God sent a punishment. Literally. David was so broken up, he asked God to forgive him. But it wasn't gonna happen.

Then God sent a message through Nathan to David and said, "Excuse me, but I'm gonna take your son away." And that's exactly what happened. David was a mess. He prayed and fasted for his son, but he died.

But God had mercy on David and blessed him with more sons. See here, Jack, the Lord remembered David's righteousness and gave him more sons. I tell you what, it was a miracle!
