2 Samuel 12:19-23
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, 1washedH7364, anointedH5480 himself, and changedH2498 his clothesH8071; and he cameH935 into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and 2worshipedH7812. Then he cameH935 to his own houseH1004, and when he requestedH7592, they setH7760 foodH3899 before him and he ateH398.
21Then his servantsH5650 saidH559 to him, “WhatH4100 is thisH2088 thingH1697 that you have doneH6213? 3WhileH5668 the childH3206 was aliveH2416, you fastedH6684 and weptH1058; but whenH3512 the childH3206 diedH4191, you aroseH6965 and ateH398 foodH3899.” 22He saidH559, “While the childH3206 was still aliveH2416, 4I fastedH6684 and weptH1058; for I saidH559, ‘5WhoH4310 knowsH3045, the LordH3068 may be graciousH2603 to me, that the childH3206 may liveH2416.’ 23But nowH6258 he has diedH4191; whyH4100 should I fastH6684? CanH3201 I bringH7725 him backH7725 againH5750? 6I will goH1980 to him, but 7he will not returnH7725 to me.”
