2 Samuel 12:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ “On one occasion the rich man welcomed a traveler into his house, but he had no wish to take one animal from his flock or herd to provide a meal for his guest. Instead he took the poor man’s ewe lamb and prepared that for his visitor.”

⁵ On hearing this, David flew into a rage against that man, and he said to Nathan: “As the Lord lives, the man who has done this deserves to die. ⁶ He must make fourfold restitution^[a] for the lamb, because he has done this without showing the least bit of pity.”
