David's Shameful Leave

In the book of 2 Samuel, chapter 16, King David is on the run.  He has left Jesusalem as Absalom is making his way towards it.

David meets with Ziba, who has brought with him much provisions for David and his men.  David is pleased.

In another town, he meets with Shimei, who curses at David and throws stones at him.  David decides to turn the other way, telling his men that the Lord has advised Shimei to throw these insults and therefore they must take it.

In the meantime, Absalom has arrived in Jerusalem . . .
