2 Samuel 12:17 in Context — 2 Samuel 12
15 E Natã se voltou à sua casa. E o SENHOR feriu ao menino que a mulher de Urias havia dado à luz a Davi, e o fez ficar gravemente doente.
16 Então rogou Davi a Deus pelo menino; e jejuou Davi, recolheu-se, e passou a noite deitado em terra.
17 E levantando-se os anciãos de sua casa foram a ele para fazê-lo levantar da terra; mas ele não quis, nem comeu com eles pão.
18 E ao sétimo dia morreu o menino; mas seus servos não ousavam fazer-lhe saber que o menino era morto, dizendo entre si: Quando o menino ainda vivia, lhe falávamos, e não queria ouvir nossa voz: pois quanto mais mal lhe fará, se lhe dissermos que o menino está morto?
19 Mas Davi vendo a seus servos falar entre si, entendeu que o menino era morto; pelo que disse Davi a seus servos: É morto o menino? E eles responderam: Morto é.
