Listen to 2 Samuele 16:12
12 Forse il Signore riguarderà alla mia afflizione, e mi renderà del bene, in luogo della maledizione, della quale costui oggi mi maledice.

2 Samuele 16:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 16:12

It may be that the Lord will look on mine affliction
Through the rebellion of his son, and now aggravated by the cursing of Shimei; that is, with an eye of pity and commiseration, and deliver him out of it: or "look upon my eye" F24; for there is a various reading; the tear of mine eye, as the Targum; so Jarchi and R. Isaiah; the tears in it, which fell plentifully from it, on account of his troubles, and particularly the curses and reproaches of Shimei:

and that the Lord will requite me good for his cursing this day;
he does not speak with assurance, yet with hope; he knew his sins deserved such treatment, but also that God was gracious and merciful, and pitied his children, and resented all ill usage of them; and therefore hoped he would favour him with such intimations of his love as would support him, comfort, refresh him, and do him good, see ( Romans 8:28 ) .

2 Samuele 16:12 In-Context

10 Ma il re rispose: Che ho io da far con voi, figliuoli di Seruia? Maledica pure; e, se il Signore gli ha detto: Maledici Davide, chi dirà: Perchè hai tu fatto così?
11 Davide, oltre a ciò, disse ad Abisai, e a tutti i suoi servitori: Ecco, il mio figliuolo, ch’è uscito delle mie interiora, cerca di tormi la vita; quanto più ora lo può fare un Beniaminita? lasciatelo, ch’egli maledica pure; perciocchè il Signore glielo ha detto.
12 Forse il Signore riguarderà alla mia afflizione, e mi renderà del bene, in luogo della maledizione, della quale costui oggi mi maledice.
13 Davide adunque, con la sua gente, camminava per la via, e Simi andava allato al monte, dirimpetto a lui, maledicendo del continuo, e tirandogli pietre, e levando la polvere.
14 Ora il re, e tutta la gente ch’era con lui, giunsero là tutti stanchi; e quivi presero lena.
