2 Samuel 16:5-8
New American Standard Bible
David Is Cursed
5 When King David came to (A)Bahurim, behold, a man was coming out from there from the family of the house of Saul, and (B)his name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he was coming out, (C)cursing as he came. 6 He also threw stones at David and all the servants of King David; and all the people and all the warriors were on his right and on his left. 7 This is what Shimei said when he cursed: “Go away, go away, (D)you man of bloodshed and worthless man! 8 (E)The Lord has brought back upon you all (F)the bloodshed of the house of Saul, in whose place you have become king; and the Lord has handed the kingdom over to your son Absalom. And behold, you are caught in your own evil, for you are a man of bloodshed!”
