2 Samuel 16:13
_ _ went along on the hill’s side over against him — as he descended the rough road on the eastern side of the Mount of Olives, “went along on the hill’s side” — literally, “the rib of the hill.”
_ _ threw stones at him — as a mark of contempt and insult.
_ _ cast dust — As if to add insult to injury, clouds of dust were thrown by this disloyal subject in the path of his unfortunate sovereign. |
- cursed:
2 Samuel 16:5-6 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name [was] Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came. ... And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men [were] on his right hand and on his left.

- cast dust:
- Heb. dusted him with dust,
Acts 23:23 And he called unto [him] two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
; It was an ancient custom, in those warm and arid countries, to lay the dust before a person of distinction, by sprinkling the ground with water. Dr. Pococke and the consul were treated with this respect when they entered Cairo. The same custom is alluded to in the well-known fable of Phedrus, in which a slave is represented going before Augustus and officiously laying the dust. To throw dust in the air while a person was passing was therefore an act of great disrespect; to do so before a sovereign prince, an indecent outrage. But it is probable that Shimei meant more than disrespect and outrage to this afflicted king. Sir John Chardin informs us, that in the East, in general, those who demand justice against a criminal throw dust upon him, signifying that he ought to be put in the grave, and hence the common imprecation among the Turks and Persians, "Be covered with earth," or, "Earth be upon thy head."
