Context of 2 Samuel 16:14

12Perhaps the Lord will notice my affliction and this day grant me good in place of his curse.” 13So David and his men went on their way. But Shimei kept going along the side of the hill opposite him, yelling curses as he threw stones and dirt at them. The king and all the people who were with him arrived exhausted at their destination, where David refreshed himself. 15Now when Absalom and all the men of Israel arrived in Jerusalem, Ahithophel was with him. 16When David’s friend Hushai the Arkite came to Absalom, Hushai said to him, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
