2 Samuel 12:1-5
1And Jehovah sentH7971 NathanH5416 unto DavidH1732. And he cameH935 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, There wereH1961 twoH8147 menH376 in oneH259 cityH5892; the oneH259 richH6223, and the other poorH7326.
2The richH6223 man had exceeding manyH7235 flocksH6629 and herdsH1241;
3but the poorH7326 man had nothingH369, save oneH259 littleH6996 ewe lamb, which he had boughtH7069 and nourished up: and it grewH1431 up togetherH3162 with him, and with his children; it did eatH398 of his own morselH6595, and drankH8354 of his own cupH3563, and layH7901 in his bosomH2436, and was unto him as a daughterH1323.
4And there cameH935 a traveller unto the richH6223 manH376, and he sparedH2550 to takeH3947 of his own flockH6629 and of his own herdH1241, to dress for the wayfaring manH376 that was comeH935 unto him, but tookH3947 the poorH7326 man’sH376 lamb, and dressed it for the manH376 that was comeH935 to him.
5And David’s angerH639 was greatly kindled against the manH376; and he saidH559 to NathanH5416, As Jehovah liveth, the manH376 that hath done this is worthy to die:
