19 When David got to see that his servants were whispering together, David began to discern that the child had died. So David said to his servants: “Has the child died?” To this they said: “He has died.”

14 And he did not consent to listen to her voice, but used strength superior to hers and humiliated+ her and lay down with her.+

14 At once David said to all his servants that were with him in Jerusalem: “Get up, and let us run away;+ for there will prove to be no escaping for us because of Abʹsa·lom! Go hurriedly, for fear he may hurry up and actually catch up with us and bring down upon us what is bad and strike the city with the edge of the sword!”+
