2 Samuel 16:10-12 ▼

10 And the king said, “What have I with you?, O sons of Zeruiah? If he curses because YHWH has said to him, ‘Curse David,’ who shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’”

11 And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my son, who came out of my bowels, is seeking my life. And how much more that now this Benjamite! Leave him alone and let him curse, for so YHWH has ordered him.

12 Perhaps YHWH will look on my affliction and YHWH and will return me with good for his cursing this day.”
