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.
