2 Samuel 12:3

Context
12:3 But the poor man had nothing except for a little lamb he had acquired. He raised it, and it grew up alongside him and his children. 1  It used to 2  eat his food, 3  drink from his cup, and sleep in his arms. 4  It was just like a daughter to him.

1 tn Heb “his sons.”

2 tn The three Hebrew imperfect verbal forms in this sentence have a customary nuance; they describe past actions that were repeated or typical.

3 tn Heb “from his morsel.”

4 tn Heb “and on his chest [or perhaps, “lap”] it would lay.”
