大卫王到了巴户琳，见有一个人出来，是扫罗族基拉的儿子，名叫示每。他一面走一面咒骂，
And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
你流扫罗全家的血，接续他作王。耶和华把这罪归在你身上，将这国交给你儿子押沙龙。现在你自取其祸，因为你是流人血的人。
The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.
王说，洗鲁雅的儿子，我与你们有何关涉呢。他咒骂是因耶和华吩咐他说，你要咒骂大卫。如此，谁敢说你为什么这样行呢。
And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
大卫又对亚比筛和众臣仆说，我亲生的儿子尚且寻索我的性命，何况这便雅悯人呢。由他咒骂吧。因为这是耶和华吩咐他的。
And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.
或者耶和华见我遭难，为我今日被这人咒骂，就施恩与我。
It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.
于是大卫和跟随他的人往前行走。示每在大卫对面山坡，一面行走一面咒骂，又拿石头砍他，拿土扬他。
And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
王和跟随他的众人疲疲乏乏地到了一个地方，就在那里歇息歇息。
And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
押沙龙和以色列众人来到耶路撒冷。亚希多弗也与他同来。
And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
押沙龙问户筛说，这是你恩待朋友吗。为什么不与你的朋友同去呢。
And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?
户筛对押沙龙说，不然，耶和华和这民，并以色列众人所拣选的，我必归顺他，与他同住。
And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
