In context
2The rich had exceeding many flocks and herds:
3But the poor had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
4And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
5And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this shall surely die:
6And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
