New Living Translation
2 Samuel 19:20-23
20I know how much I sinned. That is why I have come here today, the very first person in all Israel to greet my lord the king.”
21Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said, “Shimei should die, for he cursed the Lord’s anointed king!”
22“Who asked your opinion, you sons of Zeruiah!” David exclaimed. “Why have you become my adversary today? This is not a day for execution, for today I am once again the king of Israel!”
23Then, turning to Shimei, David vowed, “Your life will be spared.”
