Shmuel Bais 16:10-12

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁰ And HaMelech said, What have I to do with you, ye Bnei Tzeruyah? So let him curse, because Hashem hath said unto him, Curse Dovid. Who shall then say, why hast thou done so?

¹¹ And Dovid said to Avishai, and to all his avadim, Hinei, beni, which came forth from within me, seeketh my nefesh; how much more now may this Bin-Hayemini (Benjamite) do it? Let him alone, and let him curse; for Hashem hath bidden him.

¹² It may be that Hashem will look on mine affliction, that Hashem will repay me tovah for his cursing this day.
