2 Samuel 12:16-19

16DavidH1732 therefore besought GodH430 for the childH5288; and DavidH1732 fastedH6684, and wentH935 in, and layH7901 allH7901 night uponH935 the earthH776.

17And the eldersH2205 of his houseH1004 aroseH6965, and stoodH6965 besideH5921 him, to raiseH6965 him upH6965 from the earthH776: but he would notH3808, neitherH3808 didH3808 he eat breadH3899 with them.

18And it cameH1961 to passH1961 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that the childH3206 diedH4191. And the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 fearedH3372 to tellH5046 him that the childH3206 was deadH4191: for they saidH559, BeholdH2009, whileH1961 the childH3206 was yet aliveH2416, weH3588 spake unto him, and he hearkened notH3808 unto our voiceH6963: howH349 will he then vex himselfH3117, ifH3588 weH3588 tellH5046 him that the childH3206 is deadH4191?

19But when DavidH1732 sawH7200 that his servantsH5650 whispered together, DavidH1732 perceivedH7200 that the childH3206 was deadH4191: and DavidH1732 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, Is the childH3206 deadH4191? And they saidH559, He is deadH4191.
