II Samuel 12:18

18 No sétimo dia, a criança morreu. E os servos de Davi ficaram com medo de informá-lo de que a criança estava morta, porque diziam: - Quando a criança ainda estava viva, falávamos com ele, mas ele não dava ouvidos à nossa voz. Como, então, vamos dizer a ele que a criança morreu? Poderá fazer alguma loucura!

18 On the seventh day the child died. David's attendants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they thought, "While the child was still living, he wouldn't listen to us when we spoke to him. How can we now tell him the child is dead? He may do something desperate."
