Verse 17 is found in chapter 12 of 2 Samuel. The son born to Bathsheba becomes gravely ill. David fasts, lies on the ground, and pleads for his life, but after the child dies he changes his behavior and explains that he cannot bring him back. The scene expresses a father’s grief and, at the same time, acceptance of divine sovereignty. The child’s death is not presented as a simple formula explaining all suffering, but as part of the specific consequence announced by Nathan within the narrative.
