2 Samuel 12:16-19
16DavidH1732 pleadedH1245 with GodH430 forH1157 the boyH5288. HeH1732 fastedH6684H6685 and went into his houseH935 and spent the nightH3885 lyingH7901 in sackcloth1 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.”
19When DavidH1732 sawH7200 thatH3588 his servantsH5650 were whispering to one anotherH3907, heH1732 perceivedH995 thatH3588 the childH3206 was deadH4191. So heH1732H413 askedH559 his servantsH5650, “Is the childH3206 deadH4191?”
