In 2 Samuel 12:20 (RSV), after David learned that the child had died, the Bible states:
"Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of the Lord, and worshipped; he then went to his own house; and when he asked, they set food before him, and he ate."
