*
And the LORD sent Nathan to David .
He came to him ,
and said to him , "
There were two men in a certain city ,
the one rich and the other poor .
*
The rich man had very many flocks and herds ;
*
but the poor man had nothing but one little ewe lamb ,
which he had bought .
And he brought it up ,
and it grew up with him and with his children ;
it used to eat of his morsel ,
and drink from his cup ,
and lie in his bosom ,
and it was like a daughter to him .
*
Now there came a traveler to the rich man ,
and he was unwilling to take one of his own flock or herd to prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him ,
but he took the poor man '
s lamb ,
and prepared it for the man who had come to him ."
*
Then David '
s anger was greatly kindled against the man ;
and he said to Nathan , "
As the LORD lives ,
the man who has done this deserves to die ;
*
and he shall restore the lamb fourfold ,
because he did this thing ,
and because he had no pity ."
