1 Kings 2:36-46

36And the kingH4428 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 unto him, BuildH1129 thee an houseH1004 in JerusalemH3389, and dwellH3427 there, and goH3318 notH3808 forthH3318 thence anyH3318 whither. 37For on the dayH3117 thou goest outH3318, and passest over the brookH5158 KidronH6939, knowH3045 thou for certainH3045 that thou shalt surelyH3588 dieH4191: thy bloodH1818 shall be uponH1961 thine ownH1961 headH7218. 38And ShimeiH8096 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, The sayingH559 is goodH2896: as my lordH113 the kingH4428 hath saidH559, soH3651 will thy servantH5650 doH6213. And shimeiH8096 dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 manyH7227 daysH3117. 39And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at the endH7093 of threeH7969 yearsH8141, that twoH8147 of the servantsH5650 of ShimeiH8096 ranH1272 awayH1272 unto AchishH397, sonH1121 of MaacahH4601, kingH4428 of GathH1661. And they toldH5046 ShimeiH8096, sayingH559; BeholdH2009, thy servantsH5650 be in GathH1661. 40And ShimeiH8096 aroseH6965, and saddledH2280 his ass, and wentH935 to GathH1661 to AchishH397, to seekH1245 his servantsH5650: and ShimeiH8096 wentH935, and broughtH935 his servantsH5650 from GathH1661. 41And it was toldH5046 SolomonH8010 that ShimeiH8096 had goneH1980 from JerusalemH3389 to GathH1661, and was comeH1980 againH7725. 42And the kingH4428 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 unto him, DidH3808 I notH3808 makeH3045 thee to swearH7650 by the LORDH3068, and protested unto thee, sayingH559, KnowH3045 for certainH3045, that on the dayH3117 thou goest outH3318, and walkest abroad anyH3318 whither, thou shalt surelyH3588 dieH4191? and thou saidst unto meH413, The sayingH559 that I have heardH8085 is goodH2896. 43WhyH4069 then hast thou notH3808 keptH8104 the oathH7621 of the LORDH3068, and the commandmentH4687 that I have chargedH6680 thee with? 44The kingH4428 saidH559 moreover to ShimeiH8096, Thou knowest allH3605 the wickednessH7451 whichH834 thine heartH3824 is privy to, that thou didst to DavidH1732 my fatherH1: therefore the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 thy wickednessH7451 uponH413 thine own headH7218. 45But kingH4428 SolomonH8010 shall be blessedH1288, and the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 shall be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 for everH5769. 46SoH3318 the kingH4428 commandedH6680 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; and he wentH3318 outH3318, and fellH3318 uponH6293 him, that he diedH4191. And the kingdomH4467 was establishedH3559 in the handH3027 of SolomonH8010.
