2 Samuel 16:10-12

2 Samuel 16:10-12

[10] 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?  [11] 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. [12] It may be that the LORD  will look  and that the LORD  will requite  me good  for his cursing  this day.
