2 Samuel 16:10-12

Darby Translation

¹⁰ And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, for Jehovah has said to him, Curse David! Who shall then say, Why dost thou so?

¹¹ And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth of my bowels, seeks my life: how much more now a Benjaminite? let him alone and let him curse; for Jehovah has bidden him.

¹² It may be that Jehovah will look on mine affliction, and that Jehovah will requite me good for my being cursed this day.
