Context of 2 Samuel 16:14

12Perhaps the Lord will understand my trouble. He may see how Shimei is cursing me and he may bless me instead.’ 13David and his men continued to walk along the road. Shimei walked along the side of the hill, near the road. As he went, he cursed David and he threw stones and dirt at David and his people. When King David and all the people who were with him reached the Jordan River, they were tired and weak. So they rested there. 15So Absalom and all the Israelites who were with him arrived in Jerusalem. Ahithophel came with him. 16David's friend, Hushai the Arkite, had also come there. He went to Absalom and he said to him, ‘May the king live for ever! May the king live for ever!’

Once and again David spared Saul's life, while Saul sought his.
