1 Kings 2:41-46
41It was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned. 42So the king sent and called for Shimei and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by the Lord and solemnly warn you, saying, ‘You will know for certain that on the day you depart and go anywhere, you shall surely die’? And you said to me, ‘The word which I have heard is good.’ 43Why then have you not kept the oath of the Lord, and the command which I 1have laid on you?” 44The king also said to Shimei, “2You know all the evil which 3you acknowledge in your heart, which you did to my father David; therefore 4the Lord shall return your evil on your own head. 45But King Solomon shall be blessed, and 5the throne of David shall be established before the Lord forever.” 466So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he went out and fell upon him so that he died.
7Thus the kingdom was established in the hands of Solomon.
