2 Samuel 12:20-23

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. 21Then saidH559 his servantsH5650 unto him, What thingH1697 is this that thou hast done? thou didst fastH6684 and weepH1058 for the childH3206, while it was aliveH2416; but whenH834 the childH3206 was deadH4191, thou didst riseH6965 and eatH398 breadH3899. 22And he saidH559, While the childH3206 was yetH5750 aliveH2416, I fastedH6684 and weptH1058: for I saidH559, Who knoweth whether Jehovah will not be gracious to me, that the childH3206 may live? 23But nowH6258 he is deadH4191, wherefore should I fastH6684? can I bringH7725 him backH7725 againH5750? I shall goH1980 to him, but he will not returnH7725 to me.
