Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
On the seventh day the child died. But David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Look, while the child was alive, we spoke to him, and he would not listen to us. So how can we tell him the child is dead? He may even harm himself.”
World English Bible (WEB)
It happened on the seventh day, that the child died. The servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, “Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he didn’t listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?”
Strong's King James
And it came to pass on the seventh{H7637} day{H3117}, that the child{H3206} died{H4191}{(H8799)}. And the servants{H5650} of David{H1732} feared{H3372}{(H8799)} to tell{H5046}{(H8687)} him that the child{H3206} was dead{H4191}{(H8804)}: for they said{H559}{(H8804)}, Behold, while the child{H3206} was yet alive{H2416}, we spake{H1696}{(H8765)} unto him, and he would not hearken{H8085}{(H8804)} unto our voice{H6963}: how will he then{H6213} vex{H7451} himself{H6213}{(H8804)}, if we tell{H559}{(H8799)} him that the child{H3206} is dead{H4191}{(H8804)}?

Young's Literal Translation
and it cometh to pass on the seventh day, that the lad dieth, and the servants of David fear to declare to him that the lad is dead, for they said, ‘Lo, in the lad being alive we spake unto him, and he did not hearken to our voice; and how do we say unto him, The lad is dead?—then he hath done evil.’
