米甲的丈夫和她一同走，一面跟着、一面哭，直跟到巴戶琳；押尼珥就說：『你回去吧。』帕鐵就回去。

看哪，在你這裏有巴戶琳的便雅憫人、基拉的兒子示每；我往瑪哈念去那一天、他用狼毒的咒罵咒罵我，後來他又下約但河來迎接我；我就指着永恆主向他起誓說：「我不用刀殺死你。」現在你不要以他為無罪，因為你是個聰明人；你總知道該怎樣待他，使他白髮蒼蒼流血下陰間。』

『不可咒罵官長，不可咒詛你民間的首領。

但是有一個青年人看見他們，就去告訴押沙龍；二人趕快走，來到巴戶琳一個人家裏；那人院中有一口井，他們就下到井裏。

王打發人將示每召來，對他說：『你要在耶路撒冷建造房屋，住在那裏；不可出那裏、到任何別的地方去。你要確實知道：你哪一天出來、過汲淪谿谷，你哪一天就必須死；流你血的罪就歸到你自己頭上。』示每對王說：『這話很好；我主我王怎麼說，你僕人就怎麼作好啦。』於是示每住在耶路撒冷許多日子。過了三年、示每有兩個僕人逃到迦特王瑪迦的兒子亞吉那裏；有人告訴示每說：『看哪，你的僕人在迦特呢。』示每就起來，把驢豫備好了，往迦特到亞吉那裏去找他的僕人；示每竟然去了，又從迦特將他僕人帶回來。有人告訴所羅門說：示每從耶路撒冷往迦特去，又回來呢。』王就打發人將示每召了來，對他說：『我豈不是叫你指着永恆主來起誓，我並且警告你說：「你要切實知道你哪一天出去到任何別的地方，你哪一天就必須死」，而你也對我說過：「這話很好，我聽從就是」麼？你為甚麼不遵守你對永恆主所起的誓，也不遵守我所吩咐關於你的命令呢？』王又對示每說：『你自己知道你對我父親大衛所行過的一切壞事、你心裏知道永恆主必使你作的壞事都歸到你自己頭上。但是所羅門王卻必蒙祝福，大衛的王位必在永恆主面前得堅立到永遠。』於是王吩咐耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，比拿雅就出去、把示每殺掉，示每就死了。這樣、國權就在所羅門手中得堅立了。

那非利士人對大衛說：『難道我是狗，你才拿着行杖到我這裏來啊？』那非利士人就指着自己的神來咒詛大衛。

屬巴戶琳的便雅憫人基拉的兒子示每急忙和猶大人一同下去迎接大衛王。跟從示每的有一千人、都是屬於便雅憫的；還有掃羅家的僮僕洗巴、和他的十五個兒子、二十個僕人跟着他：這些人都衝過約但河來到王面前。有人來回地過渡口，渡王的家眷過來，並照王所看為好的去作。當王要過約但河的時候、基拉的兒子示每俯伏在王面前，對王說：『當我主我王出耶路撒冷那一天，你僕人所行悖逆的事，願我主我王不要歸罪於我，不要惦念，而使王放在心上。僕人自知有罪；所以你看，約瑟全家之中、今天就是我首先下來迎接我主我王。』洗魯雅的兒子亞比篩應聲地說：『示每既曾咒罵了永恆主所膏立的，豈不應當因此而被處死麼？』大衛說：『洗魯雅的兒子啊，你們與我就不同意了，所以你們今天才跟我作對啊。今天在以色列中豈可有一個人被處死呢？我豈不知我今天還作以色列的王麼？』於是王對示每說：『你一定不會被處死。』王並且向他起誓。

人們必經過這地，受艱難，受饑餓；他們饑餓時、自己惱怒，便咒罵自己的王、自己的神；

任憑他們咒罵吧；惟願你祝福；願那起來攻擊我的蒙羞愧；願你的僕人得歡喜。

王和跟他走的眾民到了一個地方，覺得很疲乏，就在那裏舒暢一下。

就是在你心思中你都不可咒詛君王；在你臥房裏你也不可咒詛富戶；因為空中的飛鳥能把這聲音帶去；有翅膀的會傳說話語。

麻雀怎樣飛來飛去，燕子怎樣翻飛，無緣無故而發的咒詛也怎樣不會應驗。

因為他不惦念着施恩愛，卻逼迫困苦貧窮灰心的人到死地。他愛咒罵，願咒罵臨到他；他不喜愛祝福，願祝福遠離他。他以咒罵為長衣穿上；願這咒罵如水進他內臟，像油入他骨頭。願這咒罵當衣服讓他披上，做腰帶讓他不斷地束上。

因為你所擊打的、他們就逼迫；你所擊傷的、他們就加上痛苦。

人辱罵你們，逼迫你們，憑空虛造說出各樣壞話毁謗你們；為了我的緣故、你們是有福的。應當歡喜快樂，因為你們在天上的賞報很大；因為你們以前的神言人，人也這樣逼迫他們。
