2 Samuel 16:8

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 II Samuel 2:31. Some, too, think that the death of seven men of Saul' s immediate family II 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.
