2 Samuel 16:11-12

2 Samuel 16:11-12

[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.
