2 Samuel 12:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 Then [a]said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child while it was alive, but when the child was dead, thou didst rise up, and eat meat,
22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted, and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will have mercy on me, that the child may live?
23 But now being dead, wherefore should I now fast? [b]Can I bring him again anymore? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
