David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the ground.
They took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
It happened on the seventh day, that the child died. 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 did not listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?"
He said, "While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, 'Who knows whether the LORD will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?'
