2 Samuel 12:13-18

13And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto NathanH5416, I have sinnedH2398 against Jehovah. And NathanH5416 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Jehovah alsoH1571 hath putH4191 awayH5674 thy sinH2398; thou shalt not dieH4191. 14Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemiesH341 of Jehovah to blaspheme, the child alsoH1571 that is born unto thee shall surely dieH4191. 15And NathanH5416 departed unto his houseH1004.

And Jehovah struckH5062 the childH3206 that Uriah’s wifeH802 bare unto DavidH1732, and it was very sick. 16DavidH1732 therefore besought GodH430 for the child; and DavidH1732 fastedH6684, and wentH935 in, and layH7901 all night upon the earthH776. 17And the eldersH2205 of his houseH1004 aroseH6965, and stoodH6965 beside him, to raiseH6965 him up from the earthH776: but he wouldH14 not, neither did he eat breadH3899 with them. 18And it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that the childH3206 diedH4191. And the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 fearedH3372 to tellH5046 him that the childH3206 wasH1961 deadH4191; for they saidH559, Behold, while the childH3206 wasH1961 yet aliveH2416, we spake unto him, and he hearkened not unto our voiceH6963: howH349 will he then vex himself, if we tellH5046 him that the childH3206 is deadH4191!
