2 Samuel 16:9-13
9Then AbishaiH52 sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 saidH559 toH413 the kingH4428, “WhyH4100 should thisH2088 deadH4191 dogH3611 curseH7043 my lordH113 the kingH4428? Let me go overH5674H4994 and cut off his headH7218H5493!”
10But the kingH4428 repliedH559, “WhatH4100 have I to do with you, O sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870? IfH3588 he curses meH7043 becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 toldH559 him, ‘CurseH7043 DavidH1732,’ whoH4310 can askH559, ‘WhyH4069 did you doH6213 thisH3651?’”
11Then DavidH1732 saidH559 toH413 AbishaiH52H413 and to allH3605 his servantsH5650, “BeholdH2009, my own sonH1121, my own flesh and bloodH4578, seeksH1245 my lifeH5315. How much moreH3588, thenH6258, this BenjamiteH1145! Leave him aloneH5117 and let him curse meH7043, for the LORDH3068 has toldH559 him soH3588. 12PerhapsH194 the LORDH3068 will seeH7200 my afflictionH5771 and repayH7725H3068 me with goodH2896 forH8478 the cursingH7045 I receive todayH3117H2088.”
13So DavidH1732 and his menH582 proceededH1980 along the roadH1870 as ShimeiH8096 wentH1980 along the ridgeH6763 of the hillH2022 opposite himH5980. As Shimei wentH1980, he yelled cursesH7043, threw stonesH5619H68, and flungH6080 dustH6083 atH5980 David.
