1 And Jehovah will send Nathan to David. And he will come in to him and say to him, Two men were in one city; one rich and one poor. 2 To the rich was sheep and oxen exceeding many: 3 And to the poor, not anything except one little ewe lamb which he found, and he will save it alive: and it will grow with him and with his sons together; it will eat from his morsel and will drink from his cup, and will lie in his bosom, and be to him as a daughter. 4 And a traveler will come to the rich man, and he will spare to take from his sheep and from his oxen to do for the wayfarer coming to him; and he will take the poor man's ewe lamb and do for the man coming to him. 5 And David's anger will kindle against the man greatly, and he will say to Nathan, Jehovah lives, for the man doing this is the son of death. 6 And the ewe lamb he shall requite four-fold, because he did this word, and because he spared not. 7 And Nathan will say to David, Thou the man. Thus said Jehovah the God of Israel, I anointed thee for king over Israel, and I delivered thee from the hand of Saul; 8 And I will give thee the house of thy lord and thy lord's wives into thy bosom, and I will give to thee the house of Israel and Judah; and if little, I will add to thee according to these and according to these. 2 Samuel 12:1-8, Smith's Literal Translation.
