What a messy mess!
David is on the run from his son Absalom. A man named Shimei who served Saul seems him on the road and curses at him. David’s men want to kill Shimei but David stops them. He feels like he deserves it. In verse 12 he says, “My son, my own flesh and blood, is trying to kill me. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let him curse, for the Lord has told him to.”
Meanwhile, Absalom seeks advice from a scoundrel named Ahithophel who tells him to sleep with all of his father’s concubines in public view of everybody. He says if Absalom does this “Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself obnoxious to your father, and the hands of everyone with you will be more resolute.” (Verse 21)
For some reason, Absalom listened.
