2 Samuel 16:7

7 Y decía Simei, maldiciéndole: Sal, sal, varón sanguinario, y hombre de Belial

2 Samuel 16:7 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 16:7

And thus said Shimei, when he cursed, come out, come out
Or rather, "go out, go out" ^F20; that is, out of the nation, where he deserved not to live, as he judged, and out of the kingdom, which he had usurped, as he supposed; and the repeating the words not only denotes his vehement desire to have him gone, but the haste he should make to get out, or he was liable to be overtaken by Absalom and his forces; upbraiding him also with the hurry he was in, and the speedy flight he was making:

thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial;
or wicked man; perhaps referring by these characters in the one to the murder of Uriah, and in the other to his adultery with Bathsheba; and these crimes coming fresh into David's mind hereby, might make him more mild and humble under his reproaches.

2 Samuel 16:7 In-Context

5 Y vino el rey David hasta Bahurim; y he aquí, salía uno de la familia de la casa de Saúl, el cual se llamaba Simei, hijo de Gera; y salía maldiciendo

6 y echando piedras contra David, y contra todos los siervos del rey David; y todo el pueblo, y todos los hombres valientes estaban a su diestra y a su siniestra

7 Y decía Simei, maldiciéndole: Sal, sal, varón sanguinario, y hombre de Belial

8 el SEÑOR te ha dado el pago de toda la sangre de la casa de Saúl, en lugar del cual tú has reinado; mas el SEÑOR ha entregado el reino en mano de tu hijo Absalón; y he aquí tú eres tomado en tu maldad, porque eres varón sanguinario

9 Entonces Abisai hijo de Sarvia, dijo al rey: ¿Por qué maldice este perro muerto a mi señor el rey? Yo te ruego que me dejes pasar, y le quitaré la cabeza
