'Talked' in the Bible

Abner talked with the elders (tribal leaders) of Israel, saying, “In times past you were seeking for David to be king over you.

A week later, the child died, and David's staff was afraid to tell him that the child had died. They were telling themselves, "Look, when the child was still alive, we talked to him but he wouldn't listen to what we said.
