2 Samuel 19:16-23

16And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, which was of Bahurim, hasted and cameH935 down with the men of JudahH3063 to meetH7125 kingH4428 David.

17And there were a thousand menH376 of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sonsH1121 and his twenty servantsH376 with him; and they wentH3381 through Jordan in the presenceH5973 of the kingH4428.

18And there wentH376 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 downH6440 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, when he was come over JordanH3383.

19And he said unto the kingH4428, Let notH1121 my lord impute iniquity unto meH6440, neither doH6213 thou remember that whichH5869 thy servant didH6213 perversely the day that my lord the kingH4428 wentH6440 outH6440 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 firstH3117 of allH3117 the house of JosephH413 to goH3318 downH7760 to meetH3318 my lordH113 the kingH4428.

21But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answeredH935 and said, Shall notH3588 Shimei be putH935 to death for this, becauseH3588 he cursed the LORD’SH113 anointed?

22And David saidH559, WhatH2063 have I to do with youH3588, ye sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, that ye should this day be adversaries unto meH4191? shall there anyH3588 manH1121 be putH4191 to deathH4191 this day in Israel? for do notH3808 I know that I am this day king over Israel?

23And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto Shimei, Thou shalt notH3808 dieH4191. And the kingH4428 sware unto him.
