2 Samuel 12:1-4

1And Jehovah sentH7971 NathanH5416 to DavidH1732. And he cameH935 to him, and saidH559 to him, There wereH1961 twoH8147 menH376 in oneH259 cityH5892; the oneH259 richH6223, and the other poorH7326.

2The richH6223 had veryH3966 manyH7235 flocksH6629 and herdsH1241;

3but the poorH7326 man had nothingH369 at all, but oneH259 littleH6996 ewe lamb which he had boughtH7069, and was nourishing; and it grewH1431 up with him, and togetherH3162 with his children: it ateH398 of his morselH6595, and drankH8354 of his own cupH3563, and slept in his bosomH2436, and was to him as a daughterH1323.

4And there cameH935 a traveller to the richH6223 manH376, and he sparedH2550 to takeH3947 of his own flockH6629 and of his own herdH1241, to dress for the wayfaring manH376 that had comeH935 to him; and he tookH3947 the poorH7326 man's lamb, and dressed it for the manH376 that had comeH935 to him.
