2 The king said to Ziba, “Why do you have these things?”Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the household of the king to ride. The bread and the summer fruit are for the servants to eat. The wine is for those who become weary in the wilderness to drink.”
3 The king said, “And where is your master’s son?”Ziba said to the king, “He is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, ‘Today they will return to me the house of Israel and my father’s kingdom.’ ”
4 Then David said to Ziba, “Everything that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours.”Ziba replied, “I bow before you. May I find favor in your sight, my lord the king.”
5 When King David came to Bahurim, a man of the family of the house of Saul came out. His name was Shimei son of Gera, and he came out continuously cursing.
6 He threw stones at David and all of the servants of King David, as well as all of the people and all of the warriors who were at his right and left.
7 Shimei said when he cursed: “Come out! Come out! You bloodthirsty man, you scoundrel!
8 The Lord has returned upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned. And the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. You are taken in your own evil, because you are a man of blood.”
