2 Samuel 16:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 16:9

Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king
A sister's son of his, and a general in the army, who could not bear to hear the king abused in this manner:

why should this dead dog curse my lord the king?
be suffered to do it with impunity; a "dog" he calls him, because of his vileness and baseness, and because of his impudence, and on account of his reproachful and abusive language, aptly signified by the snarling and barking of a dog; and a "dead" dog, as being useless, detestable, and abominable:

let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head;
go over the plain where David and his men were, to the hill on which Shimei was, and strike off his head with his sword; which he could easily do, and soon put an end to his cursing.

2 Samuel 16:9 In-Context

7 Enquanto amaldiçoava, Simei dizia: “Saia daqui, saia daqui! Assassino! Bandido!
8 O SENHOR retribuiu a você todo o sangue derramado na família de Saul, em cujo lugar você reinou. O SENHOR entregou o reino nas mãos de seu filho Absalão. Você está arruinado porque é um assassino!”
9 Então Abisai, filho de Zeruia, disse ao rei: “Por que esse cão morto amaldiçoa o rei, meu senhor? Permite que eu lhe corte a cabeça”.
10 Mas o rei disse: “Que é que vocês têm com isso, filhos de Zeruia? Ele me amaldiçoa porque o SENHOR lhe disse que amaldiçoasse Davi. Portanto, quem poderá questioná-lo?”
11 Disse então Davi a Abisai e a todos os seus conselheiros: “Até meu filho, sangue do meu sangue, procura matar-me. Quanto mais este benjamita! Deixem-no em paz! Que amaldiçoe, pois foi o SENHOR que mandou fazer isso.
