2 Samuel 12:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted, and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will have mercy on me, that the child may live?
23 But now being dead, wherefore should I now fast? [a]Can I bring him again anymore? 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, (A)and she bare a son, and [b]he called his name Solomon: also the Lord loved him.
