2 Samuel 12:3

Listen to 2 Samuel 12:3
3 Pero el pobre no tenía más que una corderita que él había comprado y criado, la cual había crecido junto con él y con sus hijos. Comía de su pan, bebía de su copa y dormía en su seno, y era como una hija para él.

2 Samuel 12:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 12:3

But the poor [man] had nothing, save one little ewe lamb
Uriah had but one wife, who was much younger than he, called a lamb, an ewe lamb, a little one. Abarbinel thinks Uriah had been a widower; and had children by another wife, supposed in the parable, and was much older than Bathsheba:

which he had bought;
for men in those times and countries did not receive portions with their wives, but gave dowries to them, and for them:

and nourished up;
as his own flesh, as husbands should their wives, ( Ephesians 5:29 ) ;

and it grew up together with him, and with his children;
which Kimchi also supposes Uriah had by a former wife:

it did eat of his own meat, and drink of his own cup, and lay in his
bosom, and was unto him as a daughter;
all which are expressive of the care, kindness, love, and tenderness of a loving husband, whose affections are endeared to his wife, making her partaker of all he has, and to share in whatever he eats and drinks, and in his dearest embraces; and as there were instances of creatures, lambs and others, particularly tame or pet lambs, used in this way in a literal sense, to which the reference in the parable is, David had no suspicion of its being a parable. Bochart F17 has given many instances of creatures nourished and brought up in such a familiar manner.

2 Samuel 12:3 In-Context

1 Entonces el SEÑOR envió a Natán a David. Y vino a él y le dijo: Había dos hombres en una ciudad, el uno rico, y el otro pobre.
2 El rico tenía muchas ovejas y vacas.
3 Pero el pobre no tenía más que una corderita que él había comprado y criado, la cual había crecido junto con él y con sus hijos. Comía de su pan, bebía de su copa y dormía en su seno, y era como una hija para él.
4 Vino un viajero al hombre rico y éste no quiso tomar de sus ovejas ni de sus vacas para preparar comida para el caminante que había venido a él, sino que tomó la corderita de aquel hombre pobre y la preparó para el hombre que había venido a él.
5 Y se encendió la ira de David en gran manera contra aquel hombre, y dijo a Natán: Vive el SEÑOR, que ciertamente el hombre que hizo esto merece morir;
