2 Samuel 12:13-18
13Then DavidH1732 saidH559 toH413 NathanH5416, “I have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068.”
“The LORDH3068 has taken awayH5674 your sinH2403,” NathanH5416 repliedH559. “You will notH3808 dieH4191. 14NeverthelessH657, becauseH3588 byH2088 this deedH1697H5006 you have shown utter contemptH5006 forH341 the word of the LORDH3068,1 the sonH1121 bornH3209 to you will surely dieH4191.”
15After NathanH5416H413 had goneH1980 homeH1004, the LORDH3068 struckH5062 the childH3206 thatH834 Uriah’sH223 wifeH802 had borneH3205 to DavidH1732, and he became illH605. 16DavidH1732 pleadedH1245 with GodH430 forH1157 the boyH5288. HeH1732 fastedH6684H6685 and went into his houseH935 and spent the nightH3885 lyingH7901 in sackcloth2 on the groundH776. 17The eldersH2205 of his householdH1004 stoodH6965 beside himH5921 to help him upH6965 fromH4480 the groundH776, but he was unwillingH3808H14 and would notH3808 eatH1254 anything with themH854H3899.
On the seventhH7637 dayH3117 the childH3206 diedH4191. But David’sH1732 servantsH5650 were afraidH3372 to tellH5046 him thatH3588 the childH3206 was deadH4191, forH3588 they saidH559, “LookH2009H1961, while the childH3206 was aliveH2416, we spokeH1696 to himH413, and he would notH3808 listen to usH8085H6963. So howH349 can we tellH559 himH413 the childH3206 is deadH4191? He may even harm himselfH6213H7451.”
