2 Samuel 19:21-23

Tree of Life Version

²¹ For your servant knows that I have sinned. So behold, I have come today the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.”

²² But Abishai son of Zeruiah answered and said, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Adonai’s anointed?”

²³ But David said, “What have I to do with you sons of Zeruiah that you should be my adversary^[a] today? Should any man be put to death in Israel this day? Don’t I know that today I am king over Israel?”
