So let him curse, because the LORD has said to him, Curse David. Who then shall say, Why have you done so? 11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth from my own body, seeks my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? Let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD has bidden him. 12 It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction, and that the LORD will repay me good for his cursing this day. 13 And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hillside opposite 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.
