Exegesis
The final clause ki amar-lo YHWH {כִּי אָמַר־לוֹ יְהוָה | kî ʾā-mar-lō yə-hō-wāh} ‘for the LORD has said to him’ frames David’s resignation in divine sovereignty.
In context — 2 Samuel 16:11
And David said to Abishai and to all his servants , “Behold, my son who came forth from my own body is seeking my life; how much more now this Benjamite! Leave him alone and let him curse, for the LORD has told him to do so.”
