2 Samuel 12:20-23

20Then DavidH1732 got upH6965 from the groundH776, washedH7364 and anointed himselfH5480, changedH2498 his clothesH8071, and went intoH935 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 and worshipedH7812. Then he wentH935 toH413 his own houseH1004, and at his requestH7592 they setH7760 foodH3899 before him, and he ateH398.

21“WhatH4100 is thisH2088 you have doneH6213?” his servantsH5650H413 askedH559. “WhileH5668 the childH3206 was aliveH2416, you fastedH6684 and weptH1058, but whenH834 heH3206 diedH4191, you got upH6965 and ateH398H3899.”

22David answeredH559, “WhileH5750 the childH3206 was aliveH2416, I fastedH6684 and weptH1058, forH3588 I saidH559, ‘WhoH4310 knowsH3045? The LORDH3068 may be graciousH2603 to meH3206 and let him liveH2421.’ 23But nowH6258 that he is deadH4191, whyH4100H2088 should IH589 fastH6684? CanH3201 I bring him backH7725 againH5750? I willH589 goH1980 to himH413, but heH1931 will notH3808 returnH7725 to meH413.”
