2 Samuel 12:18 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 would not hearken unto our voice : how will he then vex himself , if we tell him that the child is dead ?
