2 Samuel 12:19-21

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁹ And David saw that his servants were whispering together, so David discerned that the child had died; so David said to his servants, “Has the child died?” And they said, “He has died.” ²⁰ So David arose from the ground, ^(A)washed, anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he came into the house of Yahweh and ^(B)worshiped. Then he came to his own house, and he asked, and they set food before him, and he ate.

²¹ Then his servants said to him, “What is this thing that you have done? ^[a]While the child was alive, you fasted and wept; but when the child died, you arose and ate food.”
