Afflictions and Adversities: Penitence in David
Source: Nav
2 Samuel 12:15, 16, 23
After Nathan had gone home, the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill. / David pleaded with God for the boy. He fasted and went into his house and spent the night lying in sackcloth on the ground. / But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
