2 Samuel 19:20-22

New American Standard Bible

²⁰ For your servant knows that I have sinned; so behold, I have come today, ^(A)the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.” ²¹ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah responded, “^(B)Should Shimei not be put to death for this, ^(C)the fact that he cursed the Lord’s anointed?” ²² David then said, “^(D)What ^[a]is there between you and me, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be an adversary to me today? ^(E)Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? For do I not know that I am king over Israel today?”
