2 SAMUEL 12:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.”
He said, 'While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me, and the child may live' - David's answer reveals his theology: he hoped the Lord might grant mercy; therefore he fasted. His fasting was intercessory prayer, not sure condemnation.
