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 spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how will he then be grieved, if we tell him that the child is dead?

And the woman became with child; and she sent word to David that she was with child.

Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child until the day of her death.
