 (2 Samuel 12:3, ESV)In this verse, the poor man’s relationship with his one little female lambis described in deeply personal and emotional terms. The lamb was notjust livestock—it was like a member of the family. It grew up with himand with his children. It shared his food, drank from his cup, and even layin his arms. The lamb was like a daughter to him.This description is more than just a touching image—it’s part of Nathan’sparable designed to awaken David’s conscience.
