16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted and went in and lay all night on the ground. 17 And the eiders of his household arose and tried to raise him up from the ground, but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them. 18 And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not listen to us; how then shall we tell him now that the child is dead? He may react violently. 2 Samuel 12:16-18, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
