2 Samuel 16:9-13

9Then 1AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “WhyH4100 should 2thisH2088 deadH4191 dogH3611 3curseH7043 my lordH113 the kingH4428? Let me goH5674 overH5674 nowH4994 and 4cutH5493 offH5493 his headH7218.”

10But the kingH4428 saidH559, “5WhatH4100 have I to do with you, O sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870? 6IfH3588 he cursesH7043, and ifH3588 the LordH3068 has toldH559 him, ‘CurseH7043 DavidH1732,’ 7then whoH4310 shall sayH559, ‘WhyH4069 have you doneH6213 soH3651?’”

11Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52 and to allH3605 his servantsH5650, “BeholdH2009, 8my sonH1121 whoH834 cameH3318 out from 9me seeksH1245 my lifeH5315; howH637 muchH637H3588 moreH637H3588 nowH6258 this BenjamiteH1145? LetH5117 him aloneH5117 and let him curseH7043, 10for the LordH3068 has toldH559 him.

12PerhapsH194 the LordH3068 will lookH7200 on my afflictionH6040 and 1112returnH7725 goodH2899 to me insteadH8478 of his cursingH7045 thisH2088 dayH3117.”

13So DavidH1732 and his menH376 wentH1980 on the wayH1870; and ShimeiH8096 wentH1980 along on the hillsideH6763H2022 parallelH5980 with him and as he wentH1980 he cursedH7043 and castH5619 stonesH68 and threwH6080 dustH6083 at him.
