2 Samuel 12:17 in Context — 2 Samuel 12
15 Y Nathán se volvió á su casa. Y Jehová hirió al niño que la mujer de Uría había parido á David, y enfermó gravemente.
16 Entonces rogó David á Dios por el niño; y ayunó David, recogióse, y pasó la noche acostado en tierra.
17 Y levantándose los ancianos de su casa [fueron] á él para hacerlo levantar de tierra; mas él no quiso, ni comió con ellos pan.
18 Y al séptimo día murió el niño; pero sus siervos no osaban hacerle saber que el niño era muerto, diciendo [entre sí]: Cuando el niño aun vivía, le hablábamos, y no quería oir nuestra voz: ¿pues cuánto más mal le hará, si le dijéremos que el niño es muerto?
19 Mas David viendo á sus siervos hablar entre sí, entendió que el niño era muerto; por lo que dijo David á sus siervos: ¿Es muerto el niño? Y ellos respondieron: Muerto es.
