2 Samuel 12:18
On the seventh day, the child died. David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him and he didn’t listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself if we tell him that the child is dead?”2 Samuel 12:18 · WEB

- સાતમે દિવસે એમ થયું કે, તે બાળક મરણ પામ્યું. હવે એ બાળક મરણ પામ્યું છે એવું તેને કહેતાં દાઉદના ચાકરો ગભરાયા, કેમ કે તેઓએ કહ્યું કે, “જુઓ, જયારે બાળક જીવતું હતું ત્યારે અમે તેની સાથે વાત કરતા હતા પણ તે અમારી વાત સાંભળતો ન હતો. પણ હવે જો અમે તેને કહીએ કે, બાળક મરી ગયું છે, તો તે પોતાને શું કરશે?!”
