2 Samuel 12:14-19

14HoweverH657, becauseH3588 by thisH2088 deedH1697 you have 1givenH5006 occasion to the enemiesH340 of the LordH3068 to blasphemeH5006, the childH1121 alsoH1571 that is bornH3209 to you shall surelyH4191 dieH4191.” 15So NathanH5416 wentH1980 to his houseH1004.

Then the LordH3068 struckH5062 the childH3206 that Uriah’sH223 2widowH802 boreH3205 to DavidH1732, so that he was very sickH605. 16DavidH1732 therefore inquiredH1245 of GodH430 for the childH5288; and DavidH1732 3fastedH6684H6685 and wentH935 and 4layH7901 all nightH3885 on the groundH776. 175The eldersH2205 of his householdH1004 stoodH6965 besideH5921 him in order to raiseH6965 him up from the groundH776, but he was unwillingH3808H14 and would not eatH1262 foodH3899 with them. 18Then it happenedH1961 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 that the childH3206 diedH4191. And the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 were afraidH3372 to tellH5046 him that the childH3206 was deadH4191, for they saidH559, “BeholdH2009, while the childH3206 was still aliveH2416, we spokeH1696 to him and he did not listenH8085 to our voiceH6963. HowH349 then can we tellH559 him that the childH3206 is deadH4191, since he might doH6213 himself harmH7463!” 19But when DavidH1732 sawH7200 that his servantsH5650 were whisperingH3907 together, DavidH1732 perceivedH995 that the childH3206 was deadH4191; so DavidH1732 saidH559 to his servantsH5650, “Is the childH3206 deadH4191?” And they saidH559, “He is deadH4191.”
