2 Samuel 16:5And king David hath come in unto Bahurim, and lo, thence a man is coming out, of the family of the house of Saul, and his name is Shimei, son of Gera, he cometh out, coming out and reviling;2 Samuel 16:6and he stoneth David with stones, and all the servants of king David, and all the people, and all the mighty men on his right and on his left.2 Samuel 16:7And thus said Shimei in his reviling, ‘Go out, go out, O man of blood, and man of worthlessness!2 Samuel 16:8Jehovah hath turned back on thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned, and Jehovah doth give the kingdom in to the hand of Absalom thy son; and lo, thou art in thine evil, for a man of blood thou art.’2 Samuel 16:9And Abishai son of Zeruiah saith unto the king, ‘Why doth this dead dog revile my lord the king? let me pass over, I pray thee, and I turn aside his head.’2 Samuel 16:10And the king saith, ‘What—to me and to you, O sons of Zeruiah? for—let him revile; even because Jehovah hath said to him, Revile David; and who saith, Wherefore hast Thou done so?’2 Samuel 16:11And David saith unto Abishai, and unto all his servants, ‘Lo, my son who came out of my bowels is seeking my life, and also surely now the Benjamite; leave him alone, and let him revile, for Jehovah hath said so to him;2 Samuel 16:12it may be Jehovah doth look on mine affliction, and Jehovah hath turned back to me good for his reviling this day.’2 Samuel 16:13And David goeth with his men in the way, and Shimei is going at the side of the hill over-against him, going on, and he revileth, and stoneth with stones over-against him, and hath dusted with dust.2 Samuel 19:13And to Amasa say ye, Art not thou my bone and my flesh? Thus doth God do to me, and thus He doth add, if thou art not head of the host before me all the days instead of Joab.’2 Samuel 19:16and Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite, who is from Bahurim, hasteth, and cometh down with the men of Judah, to meet king David,2 Samuel 19:17and a thousand men are with him from Benjamin, and Ziba servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, and they have gone prosperously over the Jordan before the king.2 Samuel 19:18And passed over hath the ferry-boat to carry over the household of the king, and to do that which is good in his eyes, and Shimei son of Gera hath fallen before the king in his passing over into Jordan,2 Samuel 19:19and saith unto the king, ‘Let not my lord impute to me iniquity; neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely in the day that my lord the king went out from Jerusalem,—for the king to set it unto his heart;2 Samuel 19:20for thy servant hath known that I have sinned; and lo, I have come to-day, first of all the house of Joseph, to go down to meet my lord the king.’2 Samuel 19:21And Abishai son of Zeruiah answereth and saith, ‘For this is not Shimei put to death—because he reviled the anointed of Jehovah?’2 Samuel 19:22And David saith, ‘What—to me and to you, O sons of Zeruiah, that ye are to me to-day for an adversary? to-day is any man put to death in Israel? for have I not known that to-day I am king over Israel?’2 Samuel 19:23And the king saith unto Shimei, ‘Thou dost not die;’ and the king sweareth to him.
