2 Samuel 12:18

到第七日，孩子死了。大卫的臣仆不敢告诉他孩子死了，因他们说：「孩子还活着的时候，我们劝他，他尚且不肯听我们的话，若告诉他孩子死了，岂不更加忧伤吗？」

dào dì qī rì ， hái zi sǐ le 。 dà wèi de chén pú bù gǎn gào sù tā hái zi sǐ le ， yīn tā men shuō ：「 hái zi hái huó zhe de shí hòu ， wǒ men quàn tā ， tā shàng qiě bù kěn tīng wǒ men de huà ， ruò gào sù tā hái zi sǐ le ， qǐ bú gèng jiā yōu shāng ma ？」

On the seventh day, the child died. David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him and he didn’t listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself if we tell him that the child is dead?”
