2 Samuel 16:7

Shimei Curses David

6He threw stones at David and at all the servants of the king, though the troops and all the mighty men were on David’s right and left.7And as he yelled curses, Shimei said, “Get out, get out, you worthless man of bloodshed!8The LORD has paid you back for all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, you have come to ruin because you are a man of bloodshed!”
