2 Samuel 12:17-18

171The eldersH2205 of his householdH1004 stoodH6965 besideH5921 him in order to helpH6965 him upH6965 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 David’sH1732 servantsH5650 wereH3372 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 2usH6963. HowH349 then can we tellH559 him that the childH3206 is deadH4191, since he might doH6213 himself harmH7463?”
