2 Samuel 16:5-7

New International Reader's Version

Shimei Curses David

As he came out of the town, he cursed David. ⁶ He threw stones at David and all his officials. He did it even though all the troops and the special guard were there. They were to the right and left of David. ⁷ As Shimei cursed, he said, “Get out! Get out, you murderer! You are a worthless and evil man!
