2 i Samuelit 12:18

Shqip Bible

Ditën e shtatë fëmija vdiq dhe shërbëtorët e Davidit kishin frikë t'i njoftonin që fëmija kishte vdekur, sepse thonin: "Ja, kur fëmija ishte akoma i gjallë, ne i kemi folur, por ai nuk i dëgjonte fjalët tona. Si të bëjmë tani për t'i thënë se fëmija ka vdekur? Kjo mund t'i shkaktojë ndonjë të keqe".

seventh day: vex, Heb. do hurt to, 2 Samuel 12:18, Numbers 20:15

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died,.... Not the seventh day from its being taken ill, but from its birth; for it cannot be thought that David should fast seven days:

and the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; lest he should be overwhelmed with too much sorrow:

for they said, behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him; to rise from the ground, and eat food:

and he would not hearken unto our voice; we could not prevail upon him to do the one nor the other:

how will he then vex himself if we tell him that the child is dead? or should we acquaint him with it, "he will do mischief" w to himself, to his body; he will tear his flesh to pieces, and cut and kill himself; this they were afraid of, observing the distress and agony he was in while it was living, and therefore they concluded these would increase upon hearing of its death.
