    17The elders of his house arose and went to him to raise him up from the ground, but he would not, nor did he eat with them.

    18And it came to pass on the seventh day, the child died. The servants of David were afraid to tell him the child was dead: for they said, While the child was alive, we spoke to him, and he would not listen to us: how then will he vex himself, if we tell him the child is dead?

    19But when David saw his servants whispering, he perceived the child was dead: therefore David said to his servants, Is the child dead? They said, He is dead.

    20Then David arose from the ground, washed, anointed himself, changed his clothing, came into the house of the LORD, and worshiped: then he went to his own house; when he asked, they set food before him, and he ate.

    21His servants said to him, What is this you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive; but when the child died, you arose and ate.

    22He said, While the child was alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell if God will be gracious to me, that the child may live?

    23But now he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

    24David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her: she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.

    8And David said to Uriah, Go down to your house and wash your feet. So Uriah departed from the king's house, and a gift of food from the king followed him.

    9But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.

    10When they told David, saying, Uriah did not go down to his house, David said to Uriah, Did you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?

    11And Uriah said to David, The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields. Shall I then go to my house to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.

    12Then David said to Uriah, Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart. So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next.

    13Now when David called him, he ate and drank before him, and he made him drunk. And at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.
