    1The Lord sent Nathan to David. When Nathan arrived, he said to him, "There were two men in a city. One was rich, and the other was poor."

    2The rich man had a great many flocks and herds.

    3But 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 ate from his food, drank from his cup, and slept in his arms. It was like a daughter to him.

    4Now, a traveler came to the rich man, but he was unwilling to take from his own flock or herd to prepare a meal for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man’s ewe lamb and prepared it for his guest.

    10Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.'
