TSK · 2 Samuel 12:16

He said, "While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, 'Who knows whether Yahweh will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?'

It happened, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

"Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue,

When I wept and I fasted, that was to my reproach.

Yahweh, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.

"Yet even now," says Yahweh, "turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning."

He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
