Nathan Reproves David
1 And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him and said unto him, "There were two men in one city, a rich and a poor. 2 And the rich had exceeding great abundance of sheep and oxen. 3 But the poor had nothing, save one little lamb which he bought and nourished up. And it grew up with him and his children, and did eat of his own meat and drank of his own cup, and slept in his bosom, and was as dear unto him as his daughter.
