David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk-tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
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 spake unto him, and he hearkened not unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead!
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who knoweth whether Jehovah will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?
