Shimei Curses David
5 Now when King David came to 2 Sam. 19:27Bahurim, there was a man from the family of the house of Saul, whose name was2 Sam. 3:16Shimei the son of Gera, coming from there. He came out, cursing continuously as he came. 7 Also Shimei said thus when he cursed: "Come out! Come out! You bloodthirsty man, 2 Sam. 19:21; 1 Kin. 2:8, 9, 44–46you rogue!
10 But the king said, Ex. 22:28"What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? So let him curse, because 2 Sam. 3:39; 19:22; (1 Pet. 2:23)the Lord has said to him, ‘Curse David.’ 2 Kin. 18:25; (Lam. 3:38)Who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’ "
11 And David said to Abishai and all his servants, "See how (Rom. 9:20)my son who 2 Sam. 12:11came from my own body seeks my life. How much more now maythis Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse; for so the Lord has ordered him. 12 It may be that the Lord will look on my affliction, and that the Lord will Gen. 15:4repay me with Deut. 23:5; Neh. 13:2; Prov. 20:22good for his cursing this day."
