2 Samuel 16:13

13 Prosseguiam, pois, o seu caminho, Davi e os seus homens, enquanto Simei ia pela encosta do monte, defronte dele, caminhando e amaldiçoando, e atirava pedras contra ele, e levantava poeira.

2 Samuel 16:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 16:13

And as David and his men went by the way
In the high road that led to Bahurim, taking no notice of the cursing of Shimei, which made him bolder and more impudent; here is a large pause in the Hebrew text, in the midst of this verse:

Shimei went along on the hill side over against him;
as David and his men walked in the plain, he went on a range of hills that ran along right against them:

and cursed as he went;
continued his curses and imprecations, to which he was the more emboldened by the behaviour of David and his men:

and threw stones at him, and cast dust;
in a way of contempt, though the stones recoiled on his own head, and the dust flew in his own face, as the consequence of things showed; and now David composed and penned the seventh psalm, ( Psalms 7:1-17 ) .

2 Samuel 16:13 In-Context

11 Disse mais Davi a Abisai, e a todos os seus servos: Eis que meu filho, que saiu das minhas entranhas, procura tirar-me a vida; quanto mais ainda esse benjamita? Deixai-o; deixai que amaldiçõe, porque o Senhor lho ordenou.

12 Porventura o Senhor olhará para a minha aflição, e me pagará com bem a maldição deste dia.

13 Prosseguiam, pois, o seu caminho, Davi e os seus homens, enquanto Simei ia pela encosta do monte, defronte dele, caminhando e amaldiçoando, e atirava pedras contra ele, e levantava poeira.

14 E o rei e todo o povo que ia com ele chegaram cansados ao Jordão; e ali descansaram.

15 Absalão e todo o povo, os homens de Israel, vieram a Jerusalém; e Aitofel estava com ele.
