2 Samuel 16:9-11
9Then 1Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should 2this dead dog 3curse my lord the king? Now let me go over and 4cut off his head.”
10But the king said, “56What business of mine is yours, you sons of Zeruiah? 7If he curses, and if the Lord has told him, ‘Curse David,’ 8then who should say, ‘Why have you done so?’”
11Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, 9my son who came out of my own body seeks my life; how much more now this Benjaminite? Leave him alone and let him curse, 10for the Lord has told him.
