2 Samuel 12:3 in Context — 2 Samuel 12
1 E o SENHOR enviou Natã a Davi, o qual vindo a ele, disse-lhe: Havia dois homens em uma cidade, um rico, e o outro pobre.
2 O rico tinha numerosas ovelhas e vacas:
3 Mas o pobre não tinha mais que uma só cordeira, que ele havia comprado e criado, e que havia crescido com ele e com seus filhos juntamente, comendo de seu bocado, e bebendo de seu vaso, e dormindo em seu fundo: e tinha-a como de uma vez filha.
4 E veio um de caminho ao homem rico; e ele não quis tomar de suas ovelhas e de suas vacas, para guisar ao caminhante que lhe havia vindo, mas sim que tomou a ovelha daquele homem pobre, e preparou-a para aquele que lhe havia vindo.
5 Então se acendeu o furor de Davi em grande maneira contra aquele homem, e disse a Natã: Vive o SENHOR, que o que tal fez é digno de morte.
