1 Kings - ch 2 v 41 - 46
- 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, 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, 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;
- 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.
