And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.(2 Samuel 12:15)

David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.(2 Samuel 12:16)

And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.(2 Samuel 12:17)

But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.(2 Samuel 12:19)

Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.(2 Samuel 12:20)

Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.(2 Samuel 12:21)
