Expanded Bible

⁷ Shimei cursed David, saying, “Get out, get out, you ·murderer [^Lman of blood], you ·troublemaker [scoundrel]. ⁸ The Lord is ·punishing [repaying] you for ·the people in Saul’s family you killed [^Lall the bloodshed of the house of Saul]! You ·took [reigned in] Saul’s place as king, but now the Lord has given the kingdom to your son Absalom! Now you are ·ruined [caught in your own evil] because you are a ·murderer [^Lman of blood]!”

⁹ Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse you, the king? Let me go over and cut off his head!”
