11Then David said to Abishai and all his servants, “Look, my own son, my own flesh and blood,D intends to take my lifeu—how much more now this Benjaminite! Leave him alone and let him curse me; the Lord has told him to. 12Perhaps the Lord will see my afflictionA and restore goodness to me instead of Shimei’s curses today.”

Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “My own son is trying to kill me. Doesn’t this relative of Saul have even more reason to do so? Leave him alone and let him curse, for the Lord has told him to do it. And perhaps the Lord will see that I am being wronged and will bless me because of these curses today.”
