All we know is that Nathan the prophet was sent to David after the child was born but we do not know how long it was after he was born. We also know that the child was struck ill on that day and lived for seven days. The history is found in 2 Samuel Chapters An excellent discourse on these chapters including repentance, forgiveness, the effects of sin on those around us and more can be found in Matthew Henry Complete Commentary on the Whole Bible.
No, the child did not die in the womb, but on the 7th day of his life. Read 2 Samuel Chapters 11and Very comforting words to a grieving heart. I too had this question initially but soon realized the child did not die in the womb..
I am still wondering however when the child actually took sick…. So I can only reason he became sick at the time of his birth. I do appreciate the insight into the Abrahamic covenant which leads me to ask.. Is he still considered the first of Davids sons to Bathsheba, even though he died? I am most interested to know if the child had a name before his death on the seventh day.
Is he still considered as the first son of David with bathsheba since he was not initiated into the Abrahamic covenant by circumcision. Your email address will not be published.

Furthermore ,1Chronicles lists Solomon as the fourth child born to David and Bathsheba. She gave birth to a son, and they named him Solomon. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

My new site is Dr. I believe Muffs is mistaken. The sins were forgiven, by grace, because of repentance, but there still had to be consequences, as for example in the case of Ahab. It was a great loss and sorrow to David when the child died — a true punishment to HIM. At the same time, it was a mercy to the child, who otherwise would have ever borne the stigma of his questionable birth, and at the same time would have been a constant reminder to David of his sins.
