2 Samuel 16:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ David also said to Abishai and all his servants, “Look, my very own son is trying to kill me, so why shouldn’t this man from the tribe of Benjamin want to do the same? Leave him alone. Let him continue to curse me. The Lord told him to do this. ¹² Maybe the Lord will see the wrong things that are happening to me and give me something good for every bad thing that Shimei says today.”

¹³ So David and his men went on their way down the road. Shimei kept following David. He walked on the other side of the road by the side of the hill. He kept cursing David on his way. Shimei also threw stones and dirt at David.
