8 "Behold, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera the Benjamite, of Bahurim; now it was he who cursed me with a violent curse on the day I went to Mahanaim . But when he came down to me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the L ORD, saying, 'I will not put you to death with the sword.'
8At, narito, nasa iyo si Semei na anak ni Gera na Benjamita, na taga Bahurim, na siyang sumumpa sa akin ng mahigpit na sumpa nang araw na ako'y pumaroon sa Mahanaim: nguni't nilusong niyang sinalubong ako sa Jordan, at isinumpa ko sa kaniya ang Panginoon, na sinasabi, Hindi kita papatayin ng tabak.
