撒母耳記下 12:18

到第七日，孩子死了。大衛的臣僕不敢告訴他孩子死了，因他們說：「孩子還活着的時候，我們勸他，他尚且不肯聽我們的話，若告訴他孩子死了，豈不更加憂傷嗎？」

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?”
