Compare all
13 aSo David said to Nathan, b“I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has cput away your sin; you shall not die.  
14 However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord ato blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die.”  
15 Then Nathan departed to his house. And the aLord struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and it became ill.  

The Death of David’s Son

16 David therefore pleaded with God for the child, and David fasted and went in and alay all night on the ground.  
17 So the elders of his house arose and went to him, to raise him up from the ground. But he would not, nor did he eat food with them.
18 Then on the seventh day it came to pass that the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead. For they said, “Indeed, while the child was alive, we spoke to him, and he would not heed our voice. How can we tell him that the child is dead? He may do some harm!”
19 When David saw that his servants were whispering, David perceived that the child was dead. Therefore David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” And they said, “He is dead.”
20 So David arose from the ground, washed and aanointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of the Lord and bworshiped. Then he went to his own house; and when he requested, they set food before him, and he ate.  
21 Then his servants said to him, “What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child died, you arose and ate food.”
22 And he said, “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept; afor I said, ‘Who can tell whether1 the Lord will be gracious to me, that the child may live?’  
23 But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go ato him, but bhe shall not return to me.”  

Solomon Is Born

24 Then David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her and lay with her. So ashe bore a son, and bhe called his name Solomon. Now the Lord loved him,  
25 and He sent word by the hand of Nathan the prophet: So1 he called his name Jedidiah, because of the Lord.
