2 Sam. 12:3      2 Sam. 12:5

Second Samuel 12:4

When the rich man had a visitor, he did not want to use any of his own lambs or cattle to feed his guest. Instead, he took the poor man's lamb and prepared it for the man.
[The visitor in this parable may allude to the temptation that came over David. At first, he was just a visitor who was then invited in and allowed to take over.]
