If imposing a fine on the innocent is not good, surely to flog honest officials is not right.

It isn’t good to fine those who aren’t guilty. So it certainly isn’t good to whip officials just because they are honest.

As he yelled curses, Shimei said,“ Leave! Leave! You man of bloodshed, you wicked man!The LORD has punished you for all the spilled blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you rule. Now the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. Disaster has overtaken you, for you are a man of bloodshed!”

Far be it from you to do such a thing– to kill the godly with the wicked, treating the godly and the wicked alike! Far be it from you! Will not the judge of the whole earth do what is right?”

Today I am weak, even though I am anointed as king. These men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too much for me to bear! May the LORD punish appropriately the one who has done this evil thing!”

So get up now and go out and give some encouragement to your servants. For I swear by the LORD that if you don’t go out there, not a single man will stay here with you tonight! This disaster will be worse for you than any disaster that has overtaken you from your youth right to the present time!”

When Joab and all the army that was with him arrived, Joab was told:“ Abner the son of Ner came to the king; he sent him away, and he left in peace!”So Joab went to the king and said,“ What have you done? Abner has come to you! Why would you send him away? Now he’s gone on his way!You know Abner the son of Ner! Surely he came here to spy on you and to determine when you leave and when you return and to discover everything that you are doing!”

When Jesus had said this, one of the high priest’s officers who stood nearby struck him on the face and said,“ Is that the way you answer the high priest?”

who says to a king,‘ Worthless man’ and to nobles,‘ Wicked men,’who shows no partiality to princes, and does not take note of the rich more than the poor, because all of them are the work of his hands?
