2 Samuel 16:11-12

Expanded Bible

¹¹ David also said to Abishai and all his ·officers [officials; ^Lservants], “My own ·son [flesh and blood] is trying to kill me! ·This man is a Benjaminite and has more right to kill me [^LHow much more reason has this Benjaminite; ^Cas a member of Saul’s clan]! Leave him alone and let him ·curse me [^Lcurse], ·because [or if] the Lord told him to do this. ¹² Maybe the Lord will see ·my misery [my affliction/distress; or that I am being wronged] and repay me with ·something good [blessing] for Shimei’s curses today!”
