Context
15Baada ya Nathani kurudi nyumbani kwake, Bwana akampiga yule mtoto ambaye mke wa Uria alikuwa amemzalia Daudi, akaugua. 16Daudi akamwomba Mungu kwa ajili ya mtoto. Akafunga na akaingia ndani ya nyumba yake akawa siku zote analala sakafuni usiku kucha. 17Wazee wa nyumbani mwake wakamwendea wakasimama karibu naye ili kumwamsha kutoka pale sakafuni, lakini akakataa, wala hakula chochote pamoja nao. 18Kunako siku ya saba yule mtoto akafa. Watumishi wa Daudi wakaogopa kumwambia kuwa mtoto amekufa, kwa maana walifikiri, “Wakati mtoto alipokuwa angali hai, tulizungumza na Daudi lakini hakutusikiliza. Tutawezaje kumwambia kwamba mtoto amekufa? Anaweza kufanya kitu cha kujidhuru.” 19Daudi akaona kuwa watumishi wake wananongʼonezana wenyewe, naye akatambua kuwa mtoto alikuwa amekufa. Akauliza “Je, ni kwamba huyo mtoto amekufa?”
Wakamjibu, “Ndiyo, mtoto amekufa.”
