'Curses' in the Bible
When King David got to Bahurim, a man belonging to the family of the house of Saul was just coming out. His name was Shimei son of Gera, and he was yelling curses as he approached.
As he yelled curses, Shimei said, "Leave! Leave! You man of bloodshed, you wicked man!
The king replied, “Sons of Zeruiah, do we agree on anything? He curses me this way because the Lord told him, ‘Curse David!’ Therefore, who can say, ‘Why did you do that?’”
Perhaps the Lord will see my affliction and restore goodness to me instead of Shimei’s curses today.”
So David and his men went on their way. But Shimei kept going along the side of the hill opposite him, yelling curses as he threw stones and dirt at them.
