2Sa 16:5-7, … there was a man from the family of the house of Saul, whose name was SHIMEI … HE CAME OUT, CURSING CONTINUOUSLY AS HE CAME. AND HE THREW STONES AT DAVID … Also Shimei said thus when he cursed: “COME OUT! COME OUT! YOU BLOODTHIRSTY MAN, YOU ROGUE!
2Sa 16:9-10, Then Abishai …said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please, let me go over and take off his head!” But the king said, … SO LET HIM CURSE, BECAUSE THE LORD HAS SAID TO HIM, ‘CURSE DAVID.’ WHO THEN SHALL SAY, ‘WHY HAVE YOU DONE SO?’
Even in the cursing of Shimei DAVID WAS LISTENING TO THE WORDS OF HIM TO SEE IF IT’S FROM THE LORD!
Pro 18:15, The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, AND THE EAR OF THE WISE SEEKS KNOWLEDGE.
2Sa 16:12, It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction, and that the LORD will repay me with good for his cursing this day.”
WHILE SHIMEI FOOLISH MOUTH ALMOST GOT HIM KILLED BY ABISHAI; DAVID WAS LISTENING CAREFULLY TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY WORD OF THE LORD EVEN BY THE MOUTH OF A FOOL!
Pro 10:14, WISE PEOPLE STORE UP KNOWLEDGE, BUT THE MOUTH OF THE FOOLISH IS NEAR DESTRUCTION.
