Parable

The wise woman uses a type of parable to convince David that his actions were wrong. He treated a stranger worse than he treated his own son. This hypothetical situation was intended to convict David of his sin. She uses David's own words against him. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin)
