And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
Ver. 23. Behold Nathan the prophet.] Who was a privy counsellor to David, though he had so sharply reproved him. 2Sa 12:1-12
He bowed himself before the king.] Note here the exemplary modesty and submission of so great a prophet. How far from this is the false prophet of Rome!
