21But Abishai son of Zeruiah said, “Shouldn’ t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’s anointed?”
22And David replied, “Sons of Zeruiah, what have I to do with you, that you should be my adversaries today? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? Am I not indeed aware that today I am king over Israel?”
