2 Samuel 19:20-22

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁰ I know I’ve sinned. Today I’ve come as the first of all the house of Joseph to meet you.”

²¹ But Abishai, Zeruiah’s son, replied, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for cursing the Lord’s anointed king?”

²² David responded, “Are you sure we’re from the same family, sons of Zeruiah? You are my enemies today. Should anyone in Israel be killed today? Don’t I know that I’m king of Israel again?”
