si miskin tidak mempunyai apa-apa, selain dari seekor anak domba betina yang kecil, yang dibeli dan dipeliharanya. Anak domba itu menjadi besar padanya bersama-sama dengan anak-anaknya, makan dari suapnya dan minum dari pialanya dan tidur di pangkuannya, seperti seorang anak perempuan baginya.
Tetapi orang miskin itu tiada empunya melainkan hanya seekor anak domba yang telah dibelinya dan dipeliharakannya, sehingga ia itu menjadi besar bersama-sama dengan dia dan dengan anak-anaknyapun, maka ia itupun makanlah dari pada makanannya dan minumlah dari pada cawannya, dan tidurlah pada ribaannya dan adalah ia itu baginya seperti seorang anaknya.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the poor [man] had nothing, save one little ewe lamb,.... Uriah had but one wife, who was much younger than he, called a lamb, an ewe lamb, a little one. Abarbinel thinks Uriah had been a widower; and had children by another wife, supposed in the parable, and was much older than Bathsheba:
which he had bought; for men in those times and countries did not receive portions with their wives, but gave dowries to them, and for them:
and nourished up; as his own flesh, as husbands should their wives, Ephesians 5:29;
and it grew up together with him, and with his children; which Kimchi also supposes Uriah had by a former wife:
it did eat of his own meat, and drink of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter; all which are expressive of the care, kindness, love, and tenderness of a loving husband, whose affections are endeared to his wife, making her partaker of all he has, and to share in whatever he eats and drinks, and in his dearest embraces; and as there were instances of creatures, lambs and others, particularly tame or pet lambs, used in this way in a literal sense, to which the reference in the parable is, David had no suspicion of its being a parable. Bochart q has given many instances of creatures nourished and brought up in such a familiar manner.
q Hierozoic. par. 1. l. 2. c. 46. col. 521, 522.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 12:3. And lay in his bosom — This can only mean that this lamb was what we call a pet or favourite in the family, else the circumstance would be very unnatural, and most likely would have prevented David from making the application which he did, as otherwise it would have appeared absurd. It is the only part of this parable which is at variance with nature and fact.
