  • 2 Sam 12:1-9 : 1 And the LORD sent Nathan to David. He came to him and said, There were two men in one city; one was rich, and the other poor. 2 The rich man had exceedingly many flocks and herds. 3 But the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nurtured: it grew up with him and with his children; it ate of his own food, drank from his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and it was like a daughter to him. 4 And a traveler came to the rich man, and he refused to take from his own flock and herd to prepare a meal for the wanderer who had come to him; instead, he took the poor man's lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him. 5 David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD lives, the man who has done this shall surely die. 6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing and had no pity. 7 Nathan said to David, You are the man. Thus says the LORD God of Israel, I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul. 8 I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have given you much more. 9 Why have you despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in His sight? You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. 10 Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house; because you have despised Me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife. 11 Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own house, and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. 12 For you did it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. 13 David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD.
