2 Samuel 16:11-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 16
11
Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, 'Behold, my son who came out of my own body seeks my life; how much more now
this
Benjaminite? Leave him alone and let him curse, for the
Lord
has told him.
12
Perhaps the
Lord
will look on my misery and return good to me instead of his cursing this day.'
13
So David and his men went on the road; and Shimei kept going on the hillside close beside him, and as he went he cursed and threw stones and dirt at him.
14
And the king and all the people who were with him arrived exhausted, and he refreshed himself there.
King James Version
Chapter 16
11
And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the
Lord
hath bidden him.
12
It may be that the
Lord
will look on mine affliction, and that the
Lord
will requite me good for his cursing this day.
13
And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
14
And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 16
11
Then David said to Abishai and all his servants, "Look, my own son, my own flesh and blood, intends to take my life —how much more now this Benjaminite! Leave him alone and let him curse me; the
Lord
has told him to.
12
Perhaps the
Lord
will see my affliction and restore goodness to me instead of Shimei’s curses today."
13
So David and his men proceeded along the road as Shimei was going along the ridge of the hill opposite him. As Shimei went, he cursed David, threw stones at him, and kicked up dust.
14
Finally, the king and all the people with him arrived exhausted, so they rested there.
New Living Translation
Chapter 16
11
Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, 'My own son is trying to kill me. Doesn’t this relative of Saul have even more reason to do so? Leave him alone and let him curse, for the
Lord
has told him to do it.
12
And perhaps the
Lord
will see that I am being wronged and will bless me because of these curses today.'
13
So David and his men continued down the road, and Shimei kept pace with them on a nearby hillside, cursing and throwing stones and dirt at David.
14
The king and all who were with him grew weary along the way, so they rested when they reached the Jordan River.
English Standard Version
Chapter 16
11
And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Behold, my own son seeks my life; how much more now may this Benjaminite! Leave him alone, and let him curse, for the
Lord
has told him to.
12
It may be that the
Lord
will look on the wrong done to me, and that the
Lord
will repay me with good for his cursing today."
13
So David and his men went on the road, while Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went and threw stones at him and flung dust.
14
And the king, and all the people who were with him, arrived weary at the Jordan. And there he refreshed himself.
New International Version
Chapter 16
11
David then said to Abishai and all his officials, "My son, my own flesh and blood, is trying to kill me. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let him curse, for the
Lord
has told him to.
12
It may be that the
Lord
will look upon my misery and restore to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse today."
13
So David and his men continued along the road while Shimei was going along the hillside opposite him, cursing as he went and throwing stones at him and showering him with dirt.
14
The king and all the people with him arrived at their destination exhausted. And there he refreshed himself.
New King James Version
Chapter 16
11
And David said to Abishai and all his servants, “See how my son who came from my own body seeks my life. How much more now
may this
Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse; for so the
Lord
has ordered him.
12
It may be that the
Lord
will look on my affliction, and that the
Lord
will repay me with good for his cursing this day.”
13
And as David and his men went along the road, Shimei went along the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went, threw stones at him and kicked up dust.
14
Now the king and all the people who
were
with him became weary; so they refreshed themselves there.
