16:11

וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל־אֲבִישַׁי וְאֶל־כׇּל־עֲבָדָיו הִנֵּה בְנִי אֲשֶׁר־יָצָא מִמֵּעַי מְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־נַפְשִׁי וְאַף כִּֽי־עַתָּה בֶּן־הַיְמִינִי הַנִּחוּ לוֹ וִֽיקַלֵּל כִּי אָמַר־לוֹ יְהֹוָֽה׃

Dovid said to Avishai and to all his servants, "Behold, my son who came forth from within me is seeking to kill me even more so a son of a Binyomite should now [rise against me]. Let him curse because Adonoy told him to do so.
