Before · 2 Samuel 12:13–14

13David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has put away your sin. You will not die. 14However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the LORD’s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you will surely die.”

15Then Nathan departed to his house. The LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and he was very sick.

After · 2 Samuel 12:16–17

16David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night on the ground. 17The elders of his house arose beside him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he didn’t eat bread with them.
