New American Standard Bible

¹⁴ However, since by this deed you have ^(A)shown utter disrespect for the ^[a]Lord, the child himself who is born to you shall certainly die.” ¹⁵ Then Nathan went to his house.

Loss of a Child

Later the Lord struck the child that Uriah’s ^[b]widow bore to David, so that he was very sick. ¹⁶ David therefore pleaded with God for the child; and David ^(B)fasted and went and ^(C)lay all night on the ground.
