2 Samuel 12:16-20

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! 19But when DavidH1732 sawH7200 that his servantsH5650 were whispering together, DavidH1732 perceived that the childH3206 was deadH4191; and DavidH1732 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, Is the childH3206 deadH4191? And they saidH559, He is deadH4191. 20Then DavidH1732 aroseH6965 from the earthH776, and washedH7364, and anointed himself, and changedH2498 his apparel; and he cameH935 into the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and worshipped: then he cameH935 to his own houseH1004; and when he required, they setH7760 breadH3899 before him, and he did eatH398.
