And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he hearkened not unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead!
Forsoþe it bifelde in þe seuenþe dai, þat þe yong child diede; and þe seruauntis of Dauid dredde to telle to hym, þat þe litil child was deed; for þei seiden, Lo! whanne þe litil child lyuede yit, we spaken to hym, and he herde not oure vois; hou myche more, if we seien þe child is deed, he schal turment himsilf?
