EasyEnglish Bible

²³ But now the child is dead. Even if I fast and I pray, I cannot bring him back to me. One day, I will go to the place where he is. But he will never come back here to me.’

²⁴ Then David went to comfort his wife, Bathsheba. He had sex with her as his wife. Later, she gave birth to a son. David gave him the name ‘Solomon’. The Lord loved the child, ²⁵ so he sent a message to David with Nathan, the prophet. He told David to call his son Jedidiah, because the Lord loved him.^[a]
