2 Samuel 12:16-20

16DavidH1732 therefore inquiredH1245 of GodH430 for the childH5288; and DavidH1732 1fastedH6684H6685 and wentH935 and 2layH7901 all nightH3885 on the groundH776. 173The 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.” 20So DavidH1732 aroseH6965 from the groundH776, 4washedH7364, anointedH5480 himself, and changedH2498 his clothesH8071; and he cameH935 into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and 5worshipedH7812. Then he cameH935 to his own houseH1004, and when he requestedH7592, they setH7760 foodH3899 before him and he ateH398.
