2Samuel 16:1 And when David was a little past the top of the hill when, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of asses.(donkeys).saddled and upon them two hundred loaves of bread and an hundred bunches of raisins and a hundred summer fruits and a bottle of wine. And king David said unto Ziba, What do you mean by bringing all this? And Ziba said, The asses are for you king David and for your household to ride on and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat and the wine is for those to drink who become weak in this wilderness. And king David said, And where is your master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, he abides at Jerusalem. He has said, today shall the house of Israel, the kingdom of my father, be restored to me. Then said king David to Ziba, Behold, you are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech you that I may find grace in your sight, my lord, O king.

2Samuel 16:5 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 as he came. 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. And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, you bloody man and man of Belial. The Lord has returned upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead you have reigned and the Lord has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son. You have been taken in your mischief because you are a bloody man. Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and take off his head. And king David said, What are you saying you sons of Zeruiah? So, let him curse, because the Lord is allowing him to be that way. Who of you can then say, this isn't the truth?

2Samuel 16:11 And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels seeks my life. How much more now may this Benjamite do it? Let him alone and let him curse, for the Lord hath bidden him.

2Samuel 16:5-7 And when king David came to Bahurim.(a town in Benjamin between Jerusalem and Jericho beyond the Mount of Olives on the way to Jericho), 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.(a town in Benjamin between Jerusalem and Jericho beyond the Mount of Olives on the way to Jericho).as he came. 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. And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, you bloody man.(one reason David was bloody was because of the murder of Uriah in order to get his woman), you man of Belial

2Samuel 16:8 The Lord has returned upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead you have reigned and the Lord has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son. And, behold, you are taken in your mischief, because you are a bloody man.

2Samuel 16:9,10 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 you and take off his head. And the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of.Zeruiah.(sister of David and mother of his famous generals, Joab, Abishai and Asahel:.1Chronicles 2:16; her husband is unknown)? So let him curse, because the Lord has said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore have you done so?

2Samuel 16:11 And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeks my life.(speaking of his son Absalom). How much more now may this Benjamite do it? Let him alone and let him curse, for the Lord has bidden him.(is God in control?).

2Samuel 16:12 It may be that the Lord will look on mine affliction and that the Lord will requite me good for his cursing this day.

2Samuel 16:13 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.

2Samuel 16:14-19 And the king and all the people that were with him, became weary and refreshed themselves there. And Absalom and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem and Ahithophel with him. 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. And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this your kindness to your friend? why went you not with your friend? 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. And again, whom should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son as I have served in your father's presence? So will I be in your presence.

2Samuel 16:20-22 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do. 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. So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

2Samuel 16:23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God. So was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
