18 Ao sétimo dia a criança morreu; e temiam os servos de Davi dizer-lhe que a criança tinha morrido; pois diziam: Eis que, sendo a criança ainda viva, lhe falávamos, porém ele não dava ouvidos � nossa voz; como, pois, lhe diremos que a criança morreu? Poderá cometer um desatino.

On the seventh day the child died. David’s attendants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they thought, “While the child was still living, he wouldn’t listen to us when we spoke to him. How can we now tell him the child is dead? He may do something desperate.”
