2 Samuel 12:16-23

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)_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
his servants
<05650>
unto him, What thing
<01697>
[is] this that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_?
thou didst fast
<06684> (8804)
and weep
<01058> (8799)
for the child
<03206>_,
[while it was] alive
<02416>_;
but when the child
<03206>
was dead
<04191> (8804)_,
thou didst rise
<06965> (8804)
and eat
<0398> (8799)
bread
<03899>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
While the child
<03206>
was yet alive
<02416>_,
I fasted
<06684> (8804)
and wept
<01058> (8799)_:
for I said
<0559> (8804)_,
Who can tell
<03045> (8802)
[whether] GOD
<03068>
will be gracious
<02603> (8804) (8675) <02603> (8762)
to me, that the child
<03206>
may live
<02416>_?
But now he is dead
<04191> (8804)_,
wherefore should I fast
<06684> (8802)_?
can
<03201> (8799)
I bring him back again
<07725> (8687)_?
I shall go
<01980> (8802)
to him, but he shall not return
<07725> (8799)
to me.
