*
And the king sent and called for Shimei Shim #
iy #,
and said unto him ,
Build thee an house in Jerusalem ,
and dwell there ,
and go not forth thence any whither .
*
For it shall be ,
that on the day thou goest out ,
and passest over the brook Kidron ,
thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die :
thy blood shall be upon thine own head ro #
sh #.
*
And Shimei said unto the king ,
The saying is good :
as my lord the king hath said ,
so will thy servant do .
And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days .
*
And it came to pass at the end of three years ,
that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath .
And they told Shimei Shim #
iy #,
saying ,
Behold ,
thy servants be in Gath .
*
And Shimei arose ,
and saddled his ass ,
and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants :
and Shimei went ,
and brought his servants from Gath .
*
And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath ,
and was come again .
*
And the king sent and called for Shimei Shim #
iy #,
and said unto him ,
Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD ,
and protested unto thee ,
saying ,
Know for a certain ,
on the day thou goest out ,
and walkest abroad any whither ,
that thou shalt surely die ?
and thou saidst unto me ,
The word that I have heard is good .
*
Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD ,
and the commandment that I have charged thee with ?
*
The king said moreover to Shimei Shim #
iy #,
Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to ,
that thou didst to David my father :
therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head ro #
sh #;
*
And king Solomon shall be blessed ,
and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever .
*
So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada ;
which went out ,
and fell upon him ,
that he died .
And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon .
