In context

13Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” “The LORD has taken away your sin,” Nathan replied. “You will not die.

14Nevertheless, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for the word of the LORD, the son born to you will surely die.”

15After Nathan had gone home, the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill.

16David pleaded with God for the boy. He fasted and went into his house and spent the night lying in sackcloth on the ground.

17The elders of his household stood beside him to help him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat anything with them.
