2 Samuel 16:6

2Sa 16:6 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.

Ver. 6. And he cast stones at David. ] He both spake and cast stones against David: not that he could thereby harm him, but the more to show his hatred and contempt.

And all the mighty men were on his right hand. ] So that if Shimei had not been stark mad with malice, he would not have thus desperately vented himself, and ventured his life.
