1 Kings 2:41-43

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁴¹ When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and returned, ⁴² the king sent and summoned Shimei, and said to him, ‘Did I not make you swear by the Lord, and solemnly adjure you, saying, “Know for certain that on the day you go out and go to any place whatever, you shall die”? And you said to me, “The sentence is fair; I accept.” ⁴³ Why then have you not kept your oath to the Lord and the commandment with which I charged you?’
