1 Kings 2:41-43

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴¹ Solomon was told that Shimei had left Jerusalem and had gone to Gath and returned. ⁴² The king summoned Shimei and said to him, “Did I not swear to you by the Lord and warn you that you could be sure that on the day you dared to go out of Jerusalem you would die? And didn’t you answer me, ‘Your decision is good. I have heard what you said’? ⁴³ Why then did you not keep your oath to the Lord and obey the command I gave you?”
