2 Samuel 19:18-23

18And there went over a ferry-boat to bring over the king’sH4428 householdH1004, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the sonH1121 of Gera fell down before the kingH4428, when he was come over the JordanH3383. 19And he said unto the kingH4428, Let not my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the kingH4428 went out of Jerusalem, that the kingH4428 should take it to his heart. 20For thy servantH5650 doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I am comeH3318 this dayH3117 the first of all the house of Joseph to goH3318 down to meet my lordH113 the kingH4428.

21But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Jehovah’s anointed? 22And David saidH559, What have I to do with you, ye sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall there any man be putH4191 to deathH4191 this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel? 23And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto Shimei, Thou shalt not dieH4191. And the kingH4428 sware unto him.
