2 Samuel 12:20-28
-
20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
-
21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
-
22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
-
23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
-
24 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.
-
25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.
-
26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
-
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.
-
28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
