2 Samuel 12:1-3 ▼

1 Then the LORD {YHWH} sent Nathan (giver) to David (beloved), and when he arrived, he said, “There were two men in a certain city, one rich and the other poor.

2 The rich man had a great number of sheep and cattle,

3 but the poor man had nothing except one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food and drank from his cup; it slept in his arms \in his bosom/ and was like a daughter to him.
