Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then the king sent and summoned Shim '
e-i ,
and said to him , "
Build yourself a house in Jerusalem ,
and dwell there ,
and do not go forth from there to any place whatever .
*
For on the day you go forth ,
and cross the brook Kidron ,
know for certain that you shall die ;
your blood shall be upon your own head ."
*
And Shim '
e-i said to the king , "
What you say is good ;
as my lord the king has said ,
so will your servant do ."
So Shim '
e-i dwelt in Jerusalem many days .
*
But it happened at the end of three years that two of Shim '
e-i '
s slaves ran away to Achish ,
son of Ma '
acah ,
king of Gath .
And when it was told Shim '
e-i , "
Behold ,
your slaves are in Gath ,"
*
Shim '
e-i arose and saddled an ass ,
and went to Gath to Achish ,
to seek his slaves ;
Shim '
e-i went and brought his slaves from Gath .
*
And when Solomon was told that Shim '
e-i had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and returned ,
*
the king sent and summoned Shim '
e-i ,
and said to him , "
Did I not make you swear by the LORD ,
and solemnly admonish you ,
saying , `
Know for certain that on the day you go forth and go to any place whatever ,
you shall die '?
And you said to me , `
What you say is good ;
I obey .'
