2 Samuel 12:13-17 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

13. And Dawiḏ said to Nathan, “I have sinned against יהוה.” And Nathan said to Dawiḏ, “Also, יהוה has put away your sin, you shall not die.

14. “However, because by this deed you have greatly scorned יהוה, the child also who is born to you shall certainly die.”

15. And Nathan went to his house, and יהוה smote the child that Uriyah’s wife had born to Dawiḏ, and he was sick.

16. And Dawiḏ sought Elohim for the child, and Dawiḏ fasted and went in and spent all night lying on the ground.

17. So the elders of his house stood up over him, to raise him up from the earth. But he would not, nor did he eat food with them.
