2 Samuel 16:11-13
Holman Christian Standard Bible
11 Then David said to Abishai and all his servants, “Look, my own son, my own flesh and blood,[a] intends to take my life(A)—how much more now this Benjaminite! Leave him alone and let him curse me; the Lord has told him to. 12 Perhaps the Lord will see my affliction[b] and restore goodness to me instead of Shimei’s curses today.” 13 So David and his men proceeded along the road as Shimei was going along the ridge of the hill opposite him. As Shimei went, he cursed David, and threw stones and dirt at him.
