2 Samuel 12:3

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.

Contextual Overview

1 And the Lord sent Nathan vnto Dauid, and he came vnto him, and tolde him: There were two men in one citie, the one rich, & the other poore. 2 The rich man had exceeding many sheepe and oxen: 3 But the poore had nothing saue one litle sheepe, which he had bought and nouryshed vp: And it grew vp with him and with his children also, and did eate of his owne meate, and drancke of his owne cuppe, & slept in his bosome, and was vnto him as his daughter. 4 And there came a straunger vnto the rich man, and he spared to take of his owne sheepe and of his owne oxen to dresse for ye straunger that was come vnto him: But toke the poore mans sheepe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. 5 And Dauid was exceeding wroth with the man, and saide to Nathan: As the Lorde lyueth, the man that hath done this thing is the childe of death. 6 He shal restore the lambe foure folde, because he did this thyng and had no pitie. 7 And Nathan saide to Dauid, Thou art the man: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel , I annoynted thee king ouer Israel, and ryd thee out of the hand of Saul. 8 I gaue thee thy maisters house, and thy maisters wyues into thy bosome, and gaue thee the house of Israel and of Iuda, and might (if that had ben to litle) haue geuen thee so muche more. 9 Wherefore then hast thou despised the commaundement of the Lorde to do euill in his sight? Thou hast kild Urias the Hethite with the sword, & hast taken his wyfe to thy wyfe, and hast slaine him with the sword of the children of Ammon. 10 Now therefore, the sword shall neuer depart from thyne house, because thou hast despised me, and taken the wyfe of Urias the Hethite to be thy wyfe.

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.
