10:012:016 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted,
           and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.

10:012:017 And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise
           him up from the earth:  but he would not, neither did he eat
           bread with them.

10:012:018 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 would not hearken unto our
           voice:  how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the
           child is dead?

10:012:019 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David
           perceived that the child was dead:  therefore David said unto
           his servants, Is the child dead?  And they said, He is dead.

10:012:020 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed
           himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of
           the lord, and worshipped:  then he came to his own house; and
           when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.

10:012:021 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou
           hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it
           was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and
           eat bread.

10:012:022 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: 
           for I said, Who can tell whether god will be gracious to me,
           that the child may live?

10:012:023 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him
           back again?  I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

10:012:024 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her,
           and lay with her:  and she bare a son, and he called his name
           Solomon:  and the lord loved him.

10:012:025 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called
           his name Jedidiah, because of the lord.

10:012:026 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and
           took the royal city.

10:012:027 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought
           against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.

10:012:028 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and
           encamp against the city, and take it:  lest I take the city,
           and it be called after my name.

10:012:029 And David gathered all the people together, and went to
           Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.

10:012:030 And he took their king’s crown from off his head, the weight
           whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones:  and it
           was set on David’s head.  And he brought forth the spoil of the
           city in great abundance.
