2 Samuel 12:1-3

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

12 And the Lord sent Nathan to David. He came and said to him, There were two men in a city, one rich and the other poor.

² The rich man had very many flocks and herds,

³ But the poor man had nothing but one little ewe lamb which he had bought and brought up, and it grew up with him and his children. It ate of his own morsel, drank from his own cup, lay in his bosom, and was like a daughter to him.
