NASB
"David therefore inquired of God for the child; and David fasted and went and lay all night on the ground."
— 2 Samuel 12:16, NASB
“David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.”
“David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. ”
“David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the earth.”
“Then David prayed to God for the child and fasted. He would even go and spend the night lying on the ground.”
“And David besought the Lord for the child: and David kept a fast, and going in by himself lay upon the ground.”
“So David made prayer to God for the child; and he took no food day after day, and went in and, stretching himself out on the earth, was there all night.”
“David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.”
Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." And Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has taken away your sin; you shall not die.
"However, because by this deed you have given occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born to you shall surely die."
So Nathan went to his house. Then the LORD struck the child that Uriah's widow bore to David, so that he was very sick.
David therefore inquired of God for the child; and David fasted and went and lay all night on the ground.
The elders of his household stood beside him in order to raise him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat food with them.
Then it happened on the seventh day that the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, "Behold, while the child was still alive, we spoke to him and he did not listen to our voice. How then can we tell him that the child is dead, since he might do himself harm!"
But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; so David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" And they said, "He is dead."
