12. It may be that Hashem will look on mine affliction, that Hashem will repay me tovah for his cursing this day.
13. And as Dovid and his anashim went by the derech, Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him, cursed as he went, threw avanim at him, and kicked up aphar.
14. And HaMelech, and kol HaAm that were with him, arrived weary, and refreshed themselves there [at the Yarden].
15. And Avshalom, and kol HaAm Ish Yisroel, came to Yerushalayim, and Achitophel with him.
16. And it came to pass, when Chushai the Archi, re'eh Dovid, was come unto Avshalom, that Chushai said unto Avshalom, Long live HaMelech, Long live HaMelech.
