2 Samuel 16:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ And the king said to Abisai, and to all his servants: Behold my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now a son of Jemini? let him alone that he may curse as the Lord hath bidden him.

¹² Perhaps the Lord may look upon my affliction, and the Lord may render me good for the cursing of this day.

¹³ And David and his men with him went by the way. And Semei by the hill's side went over against him, cursing, and casting stones at him, and scattering earth.
