2 Samuel 12:17 WBT

¹⁵  And Nathan departed to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.

¹⁶  David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.

¹⁷  And the elders of his house arose, [and went] to him, to raise him from the earth: 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 hearken to our voice: how will he then be grieved, if we tell him that the child is dead?

¹⁹  But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said to his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
