2 Samuel 12:1-4 (New American Standard)
Nathan Rebukes David
1 Then the LORD sent 1Nathan to David. And 2he came to him and asaid, "There were two men in one city, the one rich and the other poor. 2 "The rich man had a great many flocks and herds. 3 "But the poor man had nothing except 3one little ewe lamb Which he bought and nourished ; And it grew up together with him and his children. It would eat of his bbread and drink of his cup and lie in his bosom, And was like a daughter to him. 4 "Now a traveler came to the rich man, And he cwas unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd, To prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him; Rather he took the poor man's ewe lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him."New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
