- પછી તેના ચાકરોએ તેને કહ્યું કે, “શા માટે તેં આમ કર્યું? જ્યાં સુધી બાળક જીવતું હતું ત્યારે તું ઉપવાસ તથા વિલાપ કરતો હતો, પણ જયારે બાળક મરી ગયું ત્યારે તેં ઊઠીને ખોરાક ખાધો?

- तब उसके कर्मचारियों ने उससे पूछा, “तूने यह क्या काम किया है? जब तक बच्चा जीवित रहा, तब तक तू उपवास करता हुआ रोता रहा; परन्तु जैसे ही बच्चा मर गया, वैसे ही तू उठकर भोजन करने लगा।”
In context
19But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” They said, “He is dead.”
20Then David arose from the earth, and washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the LORD’s house, and worshiped. Then he came to his own house; and when he requested, they set bread before him and he ate.
21Then his servants said to him, “What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread.”
22He said, “While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who knows whether the LORD will not 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 will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
