 Then a traveler came to the rich man. The traveler in David's situation was lust. A traveler came to the rich man that he was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd to prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him, but he took the poor man's ewe lamb, he took Bathsheba, and prepared it for the man who had come to him. Then David's anger burned greatly against the man, and he said to Nathan, as the Lord lives, surely the man who has done this deserves to die.
