David Is Cursed

⁵ When King David came to ^(A)Bahurim, behold, a man was coming out from there from the family of the house of Saul, and ^(B)his name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he was coming out, ^(C)cursing as he came.

⁸ And behold, you have with you ^(A)Shimei the son of Gera the Benjaminite, of Bahurim; now it was he who cursed me with a painful curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. But when ^(B)he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’
