2 Samuel 16:10-12

Tree of Life Version

¹⁰ But the king said, “What have I to do with you, sons of Zeruiah? If he curses, it’s because Adonai has said to him, ‘Curse David!’ So who should say, ‘Why did you do so?’” ¹¹ Then David said to Abishai and to all his officials, “Look, my son who came from my own body is seeking my life—how much more this Benjamite? Leave him alone and let him curse, since Adonai has told him. ¹² Perhaps Adonai will look on my affliction and return good to me for his cursing this day.”
