2 Samuel 16:10-12
2 Samuel 16:10-12 CSB
The king replied, “Sons of Zeruiah, do we agree on anything? He curses me this way because the LORD told him, ‘Curse David! ’ Therefore, who can say, ‘Why did you do that? ’ ” Then David said to Abishai and all his servants, “Look, my own son, my own flesh and blood, intends to take my life — how much more now this Benjaminite! Leave him alone and let him curse me; the LORD has told him to. Perhaps the LORD will see my affliction and restore goodness to me instead of Shimei’s curses today.”
