Study it in the app“And it happened on the seventh day that the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Look, while the child was alive, we spoke to him, and he did not listen to our voice; so how can we say to him, ‘The child is dead’? He may do something evil.””
