2 Samuel 12:1-3

New International Reader's Version

Nathan Tells David He Has Sinned

12 The Lord sent the prophet Nathan to David. When Nathan came to him, he said, “Two men lived in the same town. One was rich. The other was poor. ² The rich man had a very large number of sheep and cattle. ³ But all the poor man had was one little female lamb. He had bought it. He raised it. It grew up with him and his children. It shared his food. It drank from his cup. It even slept in his arms. It was just like a daughter to him.
