rsv@1Kings:2:36 @ 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.
rsv@1Kings:2:37 @ 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."
rsv@1Kings:2:38 @ 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.
rsv@1Kings:2:39 @ 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,"
rsv@1Kings:2:40 @ 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.
rsv@1Kings:2:41 @ And when Solomon was told that Shim'e-i had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and returned,
rsv@1Kings:2:42 @ 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.'
