10:016:006 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king
           David:  and all the people and all the mighty men were on his
           right hand and on his left.

10:016:007 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou
           bloody man, and thou man of Belial: 

10:016:008 The lord hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of
           Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the lord hath
           delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son:  and,
           behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a
           bloody man.

10:016:009 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should
           this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray
           thee, and take off his head.

10:016:010 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of
           Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the lord hath said unto
           him, Curse David.  Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done
           so?

10:016:011 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my
           son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life:  how much
           more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him
           curse; for the lord hath bidden him.

10:016:012 It may be that the lord will look on mine affliction, and that
           the lord will requite me good for his cursing this day.

10:016:013 And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on
           the hill’s side over against him, and cursed as he went, and
           threw stones at him, and cast dust.

10:016:014 And the king, and all the people that were with him, came
           weary, and refreshed themselves there.

10:016:015 And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to
           Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.

10:016:016 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend,
           was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save
           the king, God save the king.

10:016:017 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy
           friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?

10:016:018 And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the lord, and this
           people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and
           with him will I abide.

10:016:019 And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the
           presence of his son? as I have served in thy father’s
           presence, so will I be in thy presence.

10:016:020 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what
           we shall do.

10:016:021 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father’s
           concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all
           Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father:  then
           shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.
