But still, because you have had no respect for the Lord, death will certainly overtake the child who has newly come to birth.

2 Samuel 12:15
Then Nathan went back to his house. And the hand of the Lord was on David's son, the child of Uriah's wife, and it became very ill.

2 Samuel 12:16
So David made prayer to God for the child; and he took no food day after day, and went in and, stretching himself out on the earth, was there all night.

2 Samuel 12:17
And the chief men of his house got up and went to his side to make him get up from the earth, but he would not; and he would not take food with them.

2 Samuel 12:18
And then on the seventh day the child's death took place. And David's servants were in fear of giving him the news of the child's death: for they said, Truly, while the child was still living he gave no attention when we said anything to him: what will he do to himself if we give him word that the child is dead?

2 Samuel 12:19
But when David saw that his servants were talking together quietly, he was certain that the child was dead: and he said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is.

2 Samuel 12:20
Then David got up from the earth, and after washing and rubbing himself with oil and changing his clothing, he went into the house of the Lord and gave worship: then he went back to his house, and at his order they put food before him and he had a meal.

Then his servants said to him, Why have you been acting in this way? you were weeping and going without food while the child was still living; but when the child was dead, you got up and had a meal.

2 Samuel 12:22
And he said, While the child was still living I went without food and gave myself up to weeping: for I said, Who is able to say that the Lord will not have mercy on me and give the child life?

2 Samuel 12:23
But now that the child is dead there is no reason for me to go without food; am I able to make him come back to life? I will go to him, but he will never come back to me.

James 5:17
Elijah was a man of flesh and blood as we are, and he made a strong prayer that there might be no rain; and there was no rain on the earth for three years and six months.

2 Samuel 13:1
Now after this, it came about that Absalom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and David's son Amnon was in love with her.

2 Samuel 13:2
And he was so deeply in love that he became ill because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin, and so it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

2 Samuel 13:3
But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother: and Jonadab was a very wise man.

2 Samuel 13:4
And he said to him, O son of the king, why are you getting thinner day by day? will you not say what your trouble is? And Amnon said to him, I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

2 Samuel 13:5
Then Jonadab said to him, Go to your bed, and let it seem that you are ill: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come and give me bread, and get the food ready before my eyes, so that I may see it and take it from her hand.

2 Samuel 13:6
So Amnon went to bed and made himself seem ill: and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Please let my sister Tamar come and make me one or two cakes before my eyes, so that I may take food from her hand.

2 Samuel 13:7
Then David sent to the house for Tamar and said, Go now to your brother Amnon's house and get a meal for him.

2 Samuel 13:8
So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was in bed. And she took paste and made cakes before his eyes, cooking them over the fire.

2 Samuel 13:9
And she took the cooking-pot, and put the cakes before him, but he would not take them. And Amnon said, Let everyone go away from me. So they all went out.

2 Samuel 13:10
Then Amnon said to Tamar, Take the food and come into my bedroom, so that I may take it from your hand. So Tamar took the cakes she had made and went with them into her brother Amnon's bedroom.

2 Samuel 13:11
And when she took them to give them to him, he put his arms round her and said, Come to bed, my sister.

2 Samuel 13:12
And answering him, she said, O my brother, do not put shame on me; it is not right for such a thing to be done in Israel: do not this evil thing.

2 Samuel 13:13
What will become of me in my shame? and as for you, you will be looked down on with disgust by all Israel. Now then, go and make your request to the king, for he will not keep me from you.

2 Samuel 13:14
But he would not give attention to what she said: but being stronger than she, he took her by force, and had connection with her.

2 Samuel 13:15
Then Amnon was full of hate for her, hating her with a hate greater than his earlier love for her. And he said to her, Get up and be gone.

-----

2 Samuel 13:16
And she said to him, Not so, my brother, for this great wrong in sending me away is worse than what you did to me before. But he gave no attention to her.

2 Samuel 13:17
Then he gave a cry to the servant who was waiting on him and said, Put this woman out, and let the door be locked after her.

2 Samuel 13:18
Now she had on a long robe, such as in past times the king's virgin daughters were dressed in. Then the servant put her out, locking the door after her.

Ecclesiastes 2:18
Hate had I for all my work which I had done, because the man who comes after me will have its fruits.

2 Samuel 18:5
And the king gave orders to Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Because of me, be gentle to the young man Absalom. And this order about Absalom was given in the hearing of all the people.

2 Samuel 18:12
And the man said to Joab, Even if you gave me a thousand bits of silver, I would not put out my hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king gave orders to you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Take care that the young man Absalom is not touched.

2 Samuel 18:14
Then Joab said, I would have made it safe for you. And he took three spears in his hand, and put them through Absalom's heart, while he was still living, in the branches of the tree.

2 Samuel 18:20
And Joab said, You will take no news today; another day you may give him the news, but you will take no news today, because the king's son is dead.

2 Samuel 19:1
And word was given to Joab that the king was weeping and sorrowing for Absalom.
