2 Samuel 12:14-19

14Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of Jehovah to blaspheme, even the child that is born to thee shall certainly die.

15And Nathan departed to his house. And Jehovah smote the child that Urijah's wife bore to David, and it became very sick.

16And David besought 1God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the earth.

17And the elders of his house arose, [and went] to him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he ate no bread with them.

18And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice; and how shall we say to him, The child is dead? he may do some harm.

19But David saw that his servants whispered, and David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
