5 When King David came to Bahurim, a man who was a distant cousin of Saul came out cursing. His name was Shimei, son of Gera. 6 He threw stones at David and David's servants, although all the people and all the warriors were shielding David. 7 Shimei cursed and said, |Get out! Get out, you bloodthirsty man! You worthless person! 8 The LORD is paying you back for all the blood you spilled in the family of Saul, whom you succeeded as king. The LORD is giving the kingship to your son Absalom. Now you're in trouble because you're a bloodthirsty man.| 2 Samuel 16:5-8, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
