And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he hearkened not unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead!

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?

Και την ημεραν την εβδομην απεθανε το παιδιον. Και εφοβηθησαν οι δουλοι του Δαβιδ να αναγγειλωσι προς αυτον οτι το παιδιον απεθανε· διοτι ελεγον, Ιδου, ενω εζη ετι το παιδιον, ελαλουμεν προς αυτον, και δεν εισηκουε της φωνης ημων· ποσον λοιπον κακον θελει καμει, εαν ειπωμεν προς αυτον οτι το παιδιον απεθανεν;
