Context of 2 Samuel 16:14

12Perhaps Adonai will look on my affliction and return good to me for his cursing this day.” 13So David and his men continued on the way, while Shimei kept walking alongside the hill parallel with him, cursing as he walked, casting stones at him and throwing dirt. Finally the king and all the people that were with him arrived weary, so he refreshed himself there. 15Meanwhile Absalom and all the people of the men of Israel arrived in Jerusalem. Ahithophel was with him. 16Now when David’s friend Hushai the Archite came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
