2 Samuel 12:18
New American Standard Bible
18 Then it happened on the seventh day that the child died. And David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Behold, while the child was still alive, we spoke to him and he did not listen to [a]us. How then can we tell him that the child is dead, since he might do himself harm?”
