ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૬:૧૧
માટે દાઉદે અબિશાયને તથા પોતાના સર્વ ચાકરોને કહ્યું કે, “જુઓ, મારો દીકરો, જે મારાથી જનમ્યો હતો તે મારો જીવ લેવાને શોધે છે. તો હવે આ બિન્યામીની મારો વિનાશ કરવાની ઇચ્છા કરે એમાં શી નવાઈ? તેને એકલો રહેવા દો અને શાપ આપવા દે, કેમ કે ઈશ્વરે તેને તેમ કરવાની આજ્ઞા આપી છે.
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १६:११
फिर दाऊद ने अबीशै और अपने सब कर्मचारियों से कहा, “जब मेरा निज पुत्र ही मेरे प्राण का खोजी है, तो यह बिन्यामीनी अब ऐसा क्यों न करे? उसको रहने दो, और श्राप देने दो; क्योंकि यहोवा ने उससे कहा है।

In context

9Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off his head.”

10The king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because the LORD has said to him, ‘Curse David,’ who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’”

11David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my son, who came out of my bowels, seeks my life. How much more this Benjamite, now? Leave him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD has invited him.

12It may be that the LORD will look on the wrong done to me, and that the LORD will repay me good for the cursing of me today.”

13So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went, threw stones at him, and threw dust.
