1 Kings 2:44

Compare all

42 Then the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by the Lord, and warn you, saying, ‘Know for certain that on the day you go out and travel anywhere, you shall surely die’? And you said to me, ‘The word I have heard is good.’

43 Why then have you not kept the oath of the Lord and the commandment that I gave you?”

44 The king said moreover to Shimei, “You know, as your heart acknowledges, ^aall the wickedness that you did to my father David; therefore the Lord will ^breturn your wickedness on your own head.

45 But King Solomon shall be blessed, and ^athe throne of David shall be established before the Lord forever.”

46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out and struck him down, and he died. Thus the ^akingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
