2 Samuel 16:12 DBY

¹⁰  And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, for Jehovah has said to him, Curse David! Who shall then say, Why dost thou so?

¹¹  And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth of my bowels, seeks my life: how much more now a Benjaminite? let him alone and let him curse; for Jehovah has bidden him.

¹²  It may be that Jehovah will look on mine affliction, and that Jehovah will requite me good for my being cursed this day.

¹³  And David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.

¹⁴  And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
