2 Samuel 16

As David flees, Ziba meets him with provisions and claims that Mephibosheth stayed in Jerusalem hoping Saul’s kingdom would be restored; David immediately awards Ziba Mephibosheth’s property. Farther along, Shimei of Saul’s family curses David and throws stones at him, but David refuses Abishai’s request to kill the man. Meanwhile Absalom enters Jerusalem, receives Hushai into his service, and publicly goes in to David’s concubines on Ahithophel’s counsel.
