2 Sam. 12:15      2 Sam. 12:17

Second Samuel 12:16

And David pleaded with God (Elohim) for the young man (Hebr. naar), and David fasted and lay all night on the ground.
[Even though Uriah is dead and David is now married to Bathsheba, the reader is reminded that the child was conceived while Uriah was alive. Three different words for the child are used in verses 14-16: son, child, and young man. Hebr. jeled is the usual word for a small child, see verses 15, 18, 19, 21, 22. The use of the word naar here (the only time in this chapter) probably reinforces David's desire for the child to grow up to be a healthy young man. A similar opposite indication of age is found in Ruth 1:5.]
