1 Kings 2:34-46
34So BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 wentH5927, and fellH6293 upon him, and slewH4191 him: and he was buriedH6912 in his own houseH1004 in the wildernessH4057.
35And the kingH4428 putH5414 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 in his stead over the armyH6635: and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 the kingH4428 putH5414 in the stead of AbiatharH54. 36And the kingH4428 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 to him, BuildH1129 thee an houseH1004 in JerusalemH3389, and dwellH3427 there, and go not forthH3318 from there to any place whateverH575. 37For it shall be, that on the dayH3117 thou shalt go outH3318, and pass overH5674 the brookH5158 KidronH6939, thou shalt knowH3045 for certainH3045 that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191: thy bloodH1818 shall be upon thy own headH7218. 38And ShimeiH8096 saidH559 to the kingH4428, The sayingH1697 is goodH2896: as my lordH113 the kingH4428 hath saidH1696, so will thy servantH5650 doH6213. And ShimeiH8096 dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 manyH7227 daysH3117. 39And it came to pass at the endH7093 of threeH7969 yearsH8141, that twoH8147 of the servantsH5650 of ShimeiH8096 ran awayH1272 to AchishH397 sonH1121 of MaachahH4601 kingH4428 of GathH1661. And they toldH5046 ShimeiH8096, sayingH559, Behold, thy servantsH5650 are in GathH1661. 40And ShimeiH8096 aroseH6965, and saddledH2280 his donkeyH2543, and wentH3212 to GathH1661 to AchishH397 to seekH1245 his servantsH5650: and ShimeiH8096 wentH3212, and broughtH935 his servantsH5650 from GathH1661. 41And it was toldH5046 to SolomonH8010 that ShimeiH8096 had goneH1980 from JerusalemH3389 to GathH1661, and had returnedH7725. 42And the kingH4428 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 to him, Did I not make thee to swearH7650 by the LORDH3068, and protestH5749 to thee, sayingH559, KnowH3045 for a certainH3045, on the dayH3117 thou goest outH3318, and walkestH1980 any where abroadH575, that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191? and thou saidstH559 to me, The wordH1697 that I have heardH8085 is goodH2896. 43Why then hast thou not keptH8104 the oathH7621 of the LORDH3068, and the commandmentH4687 that I have chargedH6680 thee with? 44The kingH4428 saidH559 moreover to ShimeiH8096, Thou knowestH3045 all the wickednessH7451 which thy heartH3824 is aware ofH3045, that thou didstH6213 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1: therefore the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 thy wickednessH7451 upon thy own headH7218; 45And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 shall be blessedH1288, and the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 shall be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 forH5704 everH5769. 46So the kingH4428 commandedH6680 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; who went outH3318, and fellH6293 upon him, that he diedH4191. And the kingdomH4467 was establishedH3559 in the handH3027 of SolomonH8010.
