2 Samuel 12:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ Then Nathan went home.

David's Son Dies

The Lord caused the child that Uriah's wife had borne to David to become very sick. ¹⁶ David prayed to God that the child would get well. He refused to eat anything, and every night he went into his room and spent the night lying on the floor. ¹⁷ His court officials went to him and tried to make him get up, but he refused and would not eat anything with them.
