2 Samuel 12 23 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.  -kjv 23 But now that he is dead, why should I go on fasting? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”  -niv 23 But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I’ll go to him, but he will never return to me.” -hcsb Comments and observations

  1. Context of this verse is that the baby conceived in the adulterous relationship between King David and Bathsheba is struck dead by God.

  2. King David declares that the baby is going to heaven and he is going to meet him there when he passes away.

  3. This implies that babies who die before the age of accountability go to the presence of the Lord. Heard this from openline moody radio broadcast on 16 April, 2016
