And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 5 is found in chapter 16 of 2 Samuel. Shimei, from Saul’s family, curses David and accuses him of shedding Saul’s family blood. Abishai wants to kill him, but David refuses and allows him to continue cursing. The king even considers that the Lord may have permitted this humiliation. This response contrasts with the executions previously ordered against Saul’s killers and shows a David who, amid his downfall, is willing to accept humiliation without immediately turning every insult into an occasion for revenge.
