2 Samuel 12:16-18 So David made prayer to God for the child; and he took no food day after day, and went in and, stretching himself out on the earth, was there all night.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ So David made prayer to God for the child; and he took no food day after day, and went in and, stretching himself out on the earth, was there all night. ¹⁷ And the chief men of his house got up and went to his side to make him get up from the earth, but he would not; and he would not take food with them. ¹⁸ And then on the seventh day the child's death took place. And David's servants were in fear of giving him the news of the child's death: for they said, Truly, while the child was still living he gave no attention when we said anything to him: what will he do to himself if we give him word that the child is dead?
