16 H1732 David H1245 therefore besought [H8762] H430 God H5288 for the child H1732 ; and David H6684 fasted [H8799] H6685 H935 , and went in [H8804] H7901 , and lay [H8804] H3885 all night [H8804] H776 upon the earth.

17 H2205 And the elders H1004 of his house H6965 arose [H8799] H6965 , and went to him, to raise him up [H8687] H776 from the earth H14 : but he would [H8804] H1262 not, neither did he eat [H8804] H3899 bread with them.

18 H7637 And it came to pass on the seventh H3117 day H3206 , that the child H4191 died [H8799] H5650 . And the servants H1732 of David H3372 feared [H8799] H5046 to tell [H8687] H3206 him that the child H4191 was dead [H8804] H559 : for they said [H8804] H3206 , Behold, while the child H2416 was yet alive H1696 , we spake [H8765] H8085 unto him, and he would not hearken [H8804] H6963 unto our voice H6213 : how will he then H7451 vex H6213 himself [H8804] H559 , if we tell [H8799] H3206 him that the child H4191 is dead [H8804] ?

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ 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 stood] beside him, to raise him up 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 spake unto him, and he hearkened not unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
