1 Kings 2:41-46

41And it was toldH5046 SolomonH8010 that ShimeiH8096 had goneH1980 from JerusalemH3389 to GathH1661, and was come againH7725.

42And the kingH4428 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 unto him, Did I not make thee to swearH7650 by YhwhH3068, and protestedH5749 unto thee, sayingH559, KnowH3045 for a certainH3045, on the dayH3117 thou goest outH3318, and walkestH1980 abroad any whitherH575, that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191? and thou saidstH559 unto me, The wordH1697 that I have heardH8085 is goodH2896.

43Why then hast thou not keptH8104 the oathH7621 of YhwhH3068, and the commandmentH4687 that I have chargedH6680 thee with?

44The kingH4428 saidH559 moreover to ShimeiH8096, Thou knowestH3045 all the wickednessH7451 which thine heartH3824 is privy toH3045, that thou didstH6213 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1: Therefore YhwhH3068 shall returnH7725 thy wickednessH7451 upon thine own headH7218;

45And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 shall be blessedH1288, and the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 shall be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 forH5704 everH5769.

46So the kingH4428 commandedH6680 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; which went outH3318, and fellH6293 upon him, that he diedH4191. And the kingdomH4467 was establishedH3559 in the handH3027 of SolomonH8010.
