Hushai insinuates himself into Absalom's counsel 20. Ahithophel's counsel (7) Come out, come out.--Rather, Go out, go out. It is doubtful whether by the words, "thou bloody man," Shimei meant anything more than that he considered David responsible for "the blood of the house of Saul", (2Samuel 16:8), especially in the case of Ishbosheth and of Abner, and the execution of Saul's seven descendants at the demand of the Gibeonites (2Samuel 21:1-9). Yet he may have known of the crime in regard to Uriah, and have wished to point his curse with the charge of shedding that innocent blood.Verse 7. - Come out; rather, out, out; that is, "get out; begone, begone, thou murderer and worthless man." Shimei could scarcely have referred to the murders of Ishbosheth and Abner, which were too remote to have so rankled in his memory; but as ch. 21. is not in its chronological order, what probably called forth his anger was the surrender of Saul's sons and grandsons into the hands of the Gibeonites. Shimei, probably, even resented David's taking the side of the Gibeonites, and treating as a crime to be severely punished what he and all Saul's partisans regarded as righteous zeal for Israel. The three years' famine, followed by the execution of Saul's sons, made more tragic by the noble conduct of Rizpah, contributed largely to the revolt of the nation from David, and helps to explain that abandonment of him by the people, which otherwise seems so hard to understand (on the date of the famine, see note on ch. 21.).
