1 Kings - ch 2 v 41 - 46
- And it is declared to Solomon that Shimei hath gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and doth return,
- and the king sendeth and calleth for Shimei, and saith unto him, `Have I not caused thee to swear by Jehovah -- and I testify against thee, saying, In the day of thy going out, and thou hast gone anywhere, thou dost certainly know that thou dost surely die; and thou sayest unto me, The word I have heard `is' good?
- and wherefore hast thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the charge that I charged upon thee?'
- And the king saith unto Shimei, `Thou hast known all the evil that thy heart hath known, which thou didest to David my father, and Jehovah hath turned back thine evil on thy head,
- and king Solomon `is' blessed, and the throne of David is established before Jehovah unto the age.'
- And the king chargeth Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he goeth out and falleth on him, and he dieth, and the kingdom is established in the hand of Solomon.
