2 Samuel 12:4-6

Amplified Bible

And to avoid taking one from his own flock or herd
To prepare [a meal] for the traveler who had come to him,
He took the poor man’s ewe lamb and prepared it for ^[a]his guest.”

⁵Then David’s anger burned intensely against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the Lord lives, the man who has done this deserves to die. ⁶He shall make restitution for the ewe lamb four times as much [as the lamb was worth], because he did this thing and had no compassion.”
