2 Samuel 12:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 The wealthy man had a great many flocks and herds.
3 But the poor man had nothing at all except (A)one little ewe lamb
Which he bought and nurtured;
And it grew up together with him and his children.
It would eat [a]scraps from him and drink from his cup and lie [b]in his lap,
And was like a daughter to him.
4 Now a visitor came to the wealthy man,
And he could not bring himself to take any animal from his own flock or his own herd,
To prepare for the traveler who had come to him;
So he took the poor man’s ewe lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”
