JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ And David will seek God for the boy, and fast a fast; and he came and passed the night and lay upon the earth. ¹⁷ And the old men of his house will rise to him to lift him up from the earth; and he would not, and he ate not bread with them. ¹⁸ And it will be in the seventh day, and the child will die.
