1 Kings 2:34-46
34Then 1BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 wentH5927 upH5927 and 2struckH6293 him and putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191, and he was buriedH6912 at his own houseH1004 3in the wildernessH4057. 35And 4the kingH4428 appointedH5414 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 overH5921 the armyH6635 inH8478 his placeH8478, and the kingH4428 appointedH5414 5ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 6inH8478 placeH8478 ofH8478 AbiatharH54.
36Now the kingH4428 sentH7971 men and summonedH7121 7ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 to him, “BuildH1129 yourself a houseH1004 in JerusalemH3389 and liveH3427 thereH8033, and do not leaveH3318 thereH8033 for anyH575 other placeH575. 37For on the dayH3117 you leaveH3318 and 8crossH5674 the 9brookH5158 KidronH6939, you will knowH3045 forH3045 certainH3045 that you will assuredlyH4191 dieH4191; 10your bloodH1818 will be 11on your own headH7218.” 38ShimeiH8096 then saidH559 to the kingH4428, “The wordH1697 is goodH2896. JustH3512 asH3512 my lordH113 the kingH4428 has spokenH1696, soH3651 your servantH5650 shall doH6213.” So ShimeiH8096 livedH3427 in JerusalemH3389 for manyH7227 daysH3117.
39But it cameH1961 aboutH1961 at the endH7093 of threeH7969 yearsH8141, that twoH8147 of Shimei’sH8096 servantsH5650 ranH1272 awayH1272 12to AchishH397 sonH1121 of MaacahH4601, kingH4428 of GathH1661. And others toldH5046 ShimeiH8096, sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, your servantsH5650 are in GathH1661.” 40Then ShimeiH8096 gotH6965 upH6965 and saddledH2280 his donkeyH2543, and wentH1980 to GathH1661 to AchishH397, to searchH1245 for his servantsH5650. And ShimeiH8096 wentH1980 and broughtH935 his servantsH5650 from GathH1661. 41And it was reportedH5046 to SolomonH8010 that ShimeiH8096 had goneH1980 from JerusalemH3389 to GathH1661, and had returnedH7725. 42So the kingH4428 sentH7971 men and summonedH7121 ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 to him, “Did I not make you swearH7650 by the LordH3068, and solemnlyH5749 warnH5749 you, sayingH559, ‘KnowH3045 forH3045 certainH3045 that on the dayH3117 you departH3318 and goH1980 anywhereH575, you shall assuredlyH4191 dieH4191’? And you saidH559 to me, ‘The wordH1697 I have heardH8085 is goodH2896.’ 43WhyH4069 then have you not keptH8104 the oathH7621 of the LordH3068, and the commandH4687 whichH834 I 13imposedH6680 on you?” 44The kingH4428 also saidH559 to ShimeiH8096, “14You yourselfH859 knowH3045 allH3605 the evilH7463 that 15you acknowledgeH3045 in your heartH3824, whichH834 you didH6213 to my fatherH1 DavidH1732; therefore 16the LordH3068 will returnH7725 your evilH7463 on your own headH7218. 45But KingH4428 SolomonH8010 will be blessedH1288, and 17the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 will be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 foreverH5704H5769.” 4618So the kingH4428 commandedH6680 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and he wentH3318 outH3318 and 19struckH6293 him so that he diedH4191.
20And the kingdomH4467 was establishedH3559 in the handsH3027 of SolomonH8010.
