L’Eterno fa ricadere sul tuo capo tutto il sangue della casa di Saul, in luogo del quale tu hai regnato; e l’Eterno ha dato il regno nelle mani di Absalom, tuo figliuolo; ed eccoti nelle sciagure che ti sei meritato, perché sei un uomo sanguinario".
Giovanni Diodati Bibbia
il Signore ti ha fatto ritornare addosso tutto il sangue della casa di Saulle, in luogo del quale tu hai regnato; e il Signore ha dato il regno in mano ad Absalom, tuo figliuolo; ed eccoti nel tuo male; perciocchè tu sei un uomo di sangue.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The Lord hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul,.... Which he would suggest was shed by David, or, however, that he was the cause of its being shed; as if he had stirred up the Philistines to that battle in which Saul and his sons were slain, and had an hand secretly in the deaths of Ishbosheth and Abner, all which were false insinuations; and it may be the seven sons of Saul before this time, though after related, were delivered into the hands of the Gibeonites to be hanged, to which respect may be had:

in whose stead thou hast reigned; not by right, but by usurpation he suggests:

and the Lord hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son; in this he seems to contradict himself; for if David had got the kingdom by usurpation, it would rather have, been delivered by the Lord into the hand of one of Saul's family, and not of David's:

and behold, thou [art taken] in thy mischief; punished for his sins; the mischief he had brought on others was retaliated to him:

because thou [art] a bloody man; guilty of slaying, as the Targum of shedding innocent blood, and so worthy of death.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

All the blood of the house of Saul - Shimei probably put to David’s account the death of Saul, and Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, slain in battle by the Philistines with whom David was in league; of Ish-bosheth, slain in consequence of David’s league with Abner; that of Abner himself, which he attributed to David’s secret orders; and all the 360 slain in the battle between Joab and Abner 2 Samuel 2:31. Some, too, think that the death of seven men of Saul’s immediate family 2 Samuel 21:8 had occurred before David’s flight, and was referred to by Shimei. Shimei’s hatred and virulence is an indication that the Benjamites resented the loss of royalty in their tribe, even in the palmiest days of David’s monarchy.
