2 Samuel 12:15-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁵ Then Nathan departed to his house. And the Lord struck the child that Uriah’s widow bore to David, and he was very sick.

¹⁶ David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted and went in and lay all night [repeatedly] on the floor.

¹⁷ His older house servants arose [in the night] and went to him to raise him up from the floor, but he would not, nor did he eat food with them.
