Ao stimo dia, morreu a criana; e temiam os servos de Davi inform-lo de que a criana era morta, porque diziam: Eis que, estando a criana ainda viva, lhe falvamos, porm no dava ouvidos nossa voz; como, pois, lhe diremos que a criana morta? Porque mais se afligir.
E sucedeu que, ao stimo dia, morreu a criana; e temiam os servos de Davi dizer-lhe que a criana era morta, porque diziam: Eis que, sendo a criana ainda viva, lhe falvamos, porm no dava ouvidos nossa voz; como, pois, lhe diremos que a criana morta? Porque mais mal lhe faria.

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.
