2 Samuel 16:7-9

The Voice

Shimei (shouting abuse): ⁷ Go on! Get out, you man of blood! You worthless man! ⁸ The Eternal One has finally punished you for taking the kingdom from Saul, for shedding the blood of his family and subjects and reigning in his place. That’s why the Eternal One has taken the kingdom from your bloody hands and given it into the hands of your son Absalom.

Abishai: Why should you let this worthless dog curse you, my king? Say the word, and I’ll chop his head off.
