2 Samuel 16:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁷ Shimei shouted while he cursed, ‘Out! Out! Murderer! Scoundrel! ⁸ The Lord has avenged on all of you the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, disaster has overtaken you; for you are a man of blood.’

⁹ Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king, ‘Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and take off his head.’
