2 Samuel 12:20-23

20Then DavidH1732 aroseH6965 from the earthH776, and washedH7364, and anointedH5480 himself, and changedH2498 his apparelH8071, and cameH935 into the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, and worshippedH7812: then he cameH935 to his own houseH1004; and when he requiredH7592, they setH7760 breadH3899 before him, and he did eatH398.

21Then saidH559 his servantsH5650 unto him, What thingH1697 is this that thou hast doneH6213? thou didst fastH6684 and weepH1058 for the childH3206, while it was aliveH2416; but when the childH3206 was deadH4191, thou didst riseH6965 and eatH398 breadH3899.

22And he saidH559, While the childH3206 was yet aliveH2416, I fastedH6684 and weptH1058: for I saidH559, Who can tellH3045 whether YhwhH3068 will be graciousH2603 to me, that the childH3206 may liveH2416?

23But now he is deadH4191, wherefore should I fastH6684? canH3201 I bring him back againH7725? I shall goH1980 to him, but he shall not returnH7725 to me.
