2 Samuel 16:5-11

5And when kingH4428 DavidH1732 cameH935 to BahurimH980, behold, thence came outH3318 a manH376 of the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, whose nameH8034 was ShimeiH8096, the sonH1121 of GeraH1617: he came forthH3318, and cursedH7043 still as he cameH3318.1 6And he castH5619 stonesH68 at DavidH1732, and at all the servantsH5650 of kingH4428 DavidH1732: and all the peopleH5971 and all the mighty menH1368 were on his right handH3225 and on his leftH8040. 7And thus saidH559 ShimeiH8096 when he cursedH7043, Come outH3318, come outH3318, thou bloodyH1818 manH376, and thou manH376 of BelialH1100:2 8YhwhH3068 hath returnedH7725 upon thee all the bloodH1818 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, in whose stead thou hast reignedH4427; And YhwhH3068 hath deliveredH5414 the kingdomH4410 into the handH3027 of AbsalomH53 thy sonH1121: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischiefH7451, because thou art a bloodyH1818 manH376.3

9Then saidH559 AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 unto the kingH4428, Why should this deadH4191 dogH3611 curseH7043 my lordH113 the kingH4428? let me go overH5674, I pray thee, and take offH5493 his headH7218. 10And the kingH4428 saidH559, What have I to do with you, ye sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870? so let him curseH7043, because YhwhH3068 hath saidH559 unto him, CurseH7043 DavidH1732. Who shall then sayH559, Wherefore hast thou done soH6213? 11And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, and to all his servantsH5650, Behold, my sonH1121, which came forthH3318 of my bowelsH4578, seekethH1245 my lifeH5315: how much more now may this BenjamiteH1145 do it? let him aloneH3240, and let him curseH7043; for YhwhH3068 hath biddenH559 him.
