2 Samuel 16:9-11

Now let me go over and [a]cut off his head.” 10 But the king said, “[b](D)What business of mine is yours, you sons of Zeruiah? (E)If he curses, and if the Lord has told him, ‘Curse David,’ (F)then who should say, ‘Why have you done so?’” 11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, (G)my son who came out of my own body seeks my life; how much more now this Benjaminite? Leave him alone and let him curse, (H)for the Lord has told him.
