Examples:
Laban
(Gen 31:28 AMPC)  And why did you not permit me to kiss my sons [grandchildren] and my daughters good-bye? Now you have done foolishly [in behaving like this].

Jacob

Gen 37:33  He said, My son's long garment! An evil [wild] beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces. 34  And Jacob tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourned many days for his son. 35  And all his sons and daughters attempted to console him, but he refused to be comforted and said, I will go down to Sheol (the place of the dead) to my son mourning. And his father wept for him. 36  And the Midianites [and Ishmaelites] sold [Joseph] in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and the captain and chief executioner of the [royal] guard. 

David

2Sa 12:15  Then Nathan departed to his house. And the Lord struck the child that Uriah's widow bore to David, and he was very sick. 16  David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted and went in and lay all night [repeatedly] on the floor. 

Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus's Daughter

Mar 5:21  And when Jesus had recrossed in the boat to the other side, a great throng gathered about Him, and He was at the lakeshore. 22  Then one of the rulers of the synagogue came up, Jairus by name; and seeing Him, he prostrated himself at His feet 23  And begged Him earnestly, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, so that she may be healed and live. 24  And Jesus went with him; and a great crowd kept following Him and pressed Him from all sides [so as almost to suffocate Him].
