2 Samuel 19:19-21

The Voice

Shimei: ¹⁹ Please, my lord, don’t hold me guilty or hold a grudge for what I did against you on the day you left Jerusalem, cursing you and throwing stones at you. May the king forget it ever happened! ²⁰ I, your servant, know that what I did was wrong. That’s why I’ve come today, to be the first of all the house of Joseph to greet my king.

Abishai: My lord, shouldn’t Shimei be executed for cursing the Eternal’s anointed king with such contempt?
