- David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
- And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
- 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 would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
- But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
- Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.

- 所以大衛為這孩子懇求 神、而且禁食、進入內室、終夜躺在地上。
- 他家中的老臣來到他旁邊、要把他從地上扶起來.他卻不肯起來、也不同他們喫飯。
- 到第七日、孩子死了。大衛的臣僕不敢告訴他孩子死了、因他們說、孩子還活著的時候、我們勸他、他尚且不肯聽我們的話、若告訴他孩子死了、豈不更加憂傷麼。
- 大衛見臣僕彼此低聲說話、就知道孩子死了.問臣僕說、孩子死了麼.他們說、死了。
- 大衛就從地上起來、沐浴、抹膏、換了衣裳.進耶和華的殿敬拜.然後回宮.吩咐人擺飯、他便喫了。
