2 Samuel 16:10 in Context — 2 Samuel 16

8 O SENHOR te retribuiu por todo o sangue da casa de Saul, em lugar do qual tu reinaste: mas o SENHOR entregou o reino em mãos de teu filho Absalão; e eis que estás em tua desgraça, porque és homem sanguinário.

9 Então Abisai filho de Zeruia, disse ao rei: Por que almadiçoa este cão morto a meu senhor o rei? Eu te rogo que me deixes passar, e tirarei dele a cabeça.

10 E o rei respondeu: Que tenho eu convosco, filhos de Zeruia? Ele almadiçoa assim, porque o SENHOR lhe disse que almadiçoasse a Davi; quem pois lhe dirá: Por que o fazes assim?

11 E disse Davi a Abisai e a todos os seus servos: Eis que, meu filho que saiu de minhas entranhas, busca à minha vida: quanto mais agora um filho de Benjamim? Deixai-lhe que amaldiçoe, que o SENHOR se o disse.

12 Talvez o SENHOR olhe a minha aflição, e o SENHOR me conceda o bem por suas maldições de hoje.
