David’s attendants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they thought, 'While the child was still alive, we spoke to him but he would not listen to us. How can we now tell him the child is dead? He may do something desperate.' 19 David noticed that his attendants were whispering among themselves, and he realized that the child was dead.
