2 Samuel 12:1-7

1Then the LORDH3068 sentH7971 NathanH5416 toH413 DavidH1732, and when he arrivedH935H413, he saidH559, “There wereH1961 twoH8147 menH582 in a certainH259 cityH5892, oneH259 richH6223 and the otherH259 poorH7326. 2The richH6223 man hadH1961 a great number ofH7235H3966 sheepH6629 and cattleH1241, 3but the poorH7326 man had nothingH369H3605 exceptH3588H518 oneH259 smallH6996 ewe lambH3535 thatH834 he had boughtH7069. He raised itH2421, and it grew upH1431 with himH5973 and his childrenH1121. It sharedH3162H398 his foodH6595 and drankH8354 from his cupH3563; it sleptH7901 in his armsH24361 and wasH1961 like a daughterH1323 to him.

4Now a travelerH1982 cameH935 to the richH6223H2550 manH376, who refrained from takingH3947 one of his own sheepH6629 or cattleH1241 to prepareH6213 for the travelerH732 who had comeH935 to him. Instead, he tookH3947 the poorH7326 man’sH376 lambH3535 and prepared itH6213 for his guestH376H935H413.”

5DavidH1732 burnedH2734 with angerH639H3966 against the manH376 and saidH559 toH413 NathanH5416: “As surely as the LORDH3068H3588H1121 livesH2416, the manH376 who didH6213 thisH2063 deserves to dieH4194! 6BecauseH6118 he has doneH6213 thisH2088H5921 thingH1697 and has shown noH3808 pityH2550, he must payH7999 for the lambH3535 four times overH706.”

7Then NathanH5416 saidH559 toH413 DavidH1732, “YouH859 are that manH376! This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559: ‘IH595 anointedH4886 you kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478, and IH595 delivered youH5337 from the handH3027 of SaulH7586.
