2 Samuel 12:16-20

David
<01732>

therefore besought
<01245> (8762)

God
<0430>

for the child
<05288>_;

and David
<01732>

fasted
<06684> (8799) <06685>_,

and went in
<0935> (8804)_,

and lay
<07901> (8804)

all night
<03885> (8804)

upon the earth
<0776>_.

{fasted: Heb. fasted a fast}

And the elders
<02205>

of his house
<01004>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

[and went] to him, to raise him up
<06965> (8687)

from the earth
<0776>_:

but he would
<014> (8804)

not, neither did he eat
<01262> (8804)

bread
<03899>

with them.

And it came to pass on the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>_,

that the child
<03206>

died
<04191> (8799)_.

And the servants
<05650>

of David
<01732>

feared
<03372> (8799)

to tell
<05046> (8687)

him that the child
<03206>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_:

for they said
<0559> (8804)_,

Behold, while the child
<03206>

was yet alive
<02416>_,

we spake
<01696> (8765)

unto him, and he would not hearken
<08085> (8804)

unto our voice
<06963>_:

how will he then
<06213> (0)

vex
<07451>

himself
<06213> (8804)_,

if we tell
<0559> (8799)

him that the child
<03206>

is dead
<04191> (8804)_?

{vex: Heb. do hurt}

But when David
<01732>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that his servants
<05650>

whispered
<03907> (8693)_,

David
<01732>

perceived
<0995> (8799)

that the child
<03206>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_:

therefore David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>_,

Is the child
<03206>

dead
<04191> (8804)_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

He is dead
<04191> (8804)_.

Then David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)

from the earth
<0776>_,

and washed
<07364> (8799)_,

and anointed
<05480> (8686)

[himself], and changed
<02498> (8762)

his apparel
<08071>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)_:

then he came
<0935> (8799)

to his own house
<01004>_;

and when he required
<07592> (8799)_,

they set
<07760> (8799)

bread
<03899>

before him, and he did eat
<0398> (8799)_.
