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.

Verse 6 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.

et il jeta des pierres à David et à tous les serviteurs du roi David, tandis que tout le peuple et tous les hommes vaillants étaient à la droite et à la gauche du roi.
E tirava delle pietre contro al re Davide, e contro a tutti i suoi servitori; benchè egli avesse a destra ed a sinistra tutta la gente, e tutti gli uomini di valore.
E atirava pedras contra Davi, e contra todos os servos do rei Davi; ainda que todo o povo e todos os valentes iam à sua direita e à sua esquerda.
