1 Kings 2:41-43

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴¹ Someone told Solomon that Shimei had travelled from Jerusalem to Gath and now he had returned. ⁴² So the king told Shimei to come to him. He said to Shimei, ‘You made a strong promise to me in the Lord's name. I am sure that you remember that! I warned you never to leave Jerusalem. I said that if you went anywhere else, you would certainly die. You said to me at that time, “I agree with what you have said.” ⁴³ But you have not done what you promised to do in the Lord's name. You should have obeyed my command.’
