  • 2 Sam 16:1-9 : 1 When David had gone a little beyond the summit, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, met him. He had with him a pair of saddled donkeys loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, one hundred clusters of raisins, one hundred cakes of summer fruit, and a wineskin full of wine. 2 The king asked Ziba, "Why have you brought these?" Ziba answered, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those who become weary in the wilderness to drink." 3 The king then asked, "Where is your master’s grandson?" Ziba replied to the king, "He is staying in Jerusalem because he said, 'Today the house of Israel will restore to me my grandfather’s kingdom.'" 4 Then the king declared to Ziba, "Everything that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours." Ziba said, "I humbly bow before you. May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king." 5 When King David reached Bahurim, a man from the family of Saul’s household came out, cursing as he approached. His name was Shimei, son of Gera. 6 He threw stones at David and all the servants of King David, even though all the people and the mighty warriors surrounded him on his right and left. 7 As he cursed, Shimei shouted, "Get out! Get out, you man of bloodshed, you worthless man! 8 The Lord has repaid you for all the bloodshed in the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned. The Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. You are now caught in your own evil, for you are a man of bloodshed." 9 Then Abishai, son of Zeruiah, said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head!" 10 But the king replied, "What does this have to do with you, sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the Lord told him to curse David, who can ask, 'Why did you do this?'" 11 David then said to Abishai and all his servants, "Look, my own son who came from my own body is trying to take my life. How much more now this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let him curse, for the Lord has told him to. 12 Perhaps the Lord will look upon my affliction and repay me with good for the curses I am receiving today. 13 So David and his men continued along the road, while Shimei kept pace with him on the hillside opposite, cursing and throwing stones and dirt at him. 14 The king and all the people with him arrived exhausted, and he refreshed himself there. 15 Meanwhile, Absalom and all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him. 16 When Hushai the Arkite, David's friend, came to Absalom, he said to him, "Long live the king! Long live the king!" 17 Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this the loyalty you show your friend? Why didn’t you go with your friend?" 18 Hushai said to Absalom, "No, the one chosen by the Lord, by these people, and all the men of Israel—him I will serve, and with him I will remain. 19 Besides, whom should I serve? Should I not serve his son? Just as I served your father, so I will serve you." 20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give us your advice. What should we do?" 21 Ahithophel answered, "Sleep with your father’s concubines, whom he left to care for the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself obnoxious to your father, and the hands of everyone with you will be strengthened." 22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel. 23 Now the advice Ahithophel gave in those days was like someone inquiring of God. Such was all of Ahithophel’s advice to both David and Absalom.
