# When David heard Nathan’s message

The connecting word **When** connects the reason (Nathan’s message), with the result (David thanked and praised God). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result]])

# Nathan’s message

This could also be translated “the message Nathan gave.” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-possession]])

# Of course

The connecting words **Of course** indicate that David did not know when God would do these things, since God did not tell him when they would happen. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-words-phrases]])

# 1,000

This could also be written in words: “one thousand.” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]])
