20 For thy servant doth know, that I have done amiss: therefore behold, I am the first this day of all the house of [a]Joseph, that am come to go down to meet my lord the king.
21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered, and said, Shall not Shimei die for this, because he cursed the Lord’s anointed?
22 And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that this day ye should be adversaries unto me? shall there any man die this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?
