Nathan Reproves David
2 Nathan approached David and said, "There are two men in the city. One is rich and one is poor. The rich man has many flocks and herds, 3 but the poor man had nothing except for one little ewe lamb that he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It used to share his food and drink from his own cup. It even slept in his arms. It was like a daughter to him.
