2 Samuel 12:2-4

Expanded Bible

² The rich man had many ·sheep [flocks] and ·cattle [herds]. ³ But the poor man had nothing except one little ·female [ewe] lamb he had bought. The poor man fed the lamb, and it grew up with him and his children. It ·shared his food [^Late from his plate] and drank from his cup and slept in his ·arms [^Lbosom]. The lamb was like a daughter to him.

⁴ “Then a traveler stopped to visit the rich man. The rich man wanted to feed the traveler, but he ·didn’t want [was unwilling/loath] to take one ·of his own sheep or cattle [from his own flock or herd]. Instead, he took the lamb from the poor man and ·cooked [^Lprepared] it for his visitor.”
