In this passage is is as explicit as can be without being explicit. While the child was alive, David prayed for him. As soon as the child died, his prayers no longer had any efficacy.
Where in Scripture does it specifically advocate prayers to or for the dead?
And what was the purpose of his prayer for the child ?
There's your answer; to pray for those reposed in Christ is not the same purpose, but an expression of love which exceeds what passes away - the flesh.
The Scripture advocates that we pray for each other.
Why do you deny Christ's word by calling those alive in Him "dead" ?
