Read 2 Samuel 12 in full →21Then his servants said to him, “What is this thing that you have done? 1While the child was alive, you fasted and wept; but when the child died, you arose and ate food.” 22Then he said, “While the child was still alive, aI fasted and wept; for I said, ‘bWho knows, Yahweh may be gracious to me, that the child may live.’ 23“But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? aI will go to him, but bhe will not return to me.”
