³⁵ Solomon then made Benaiah son of Jehoiada commander of the army in Joab’s place. Solomon also made Zadok the new high priest in Abiathar’s place.

³⁶ Next the king sent for Shimei. The king said to him, “Build a house for yourself here in Jerusalem. Live in the house, and don’t leave the city. ³⁷ If you leave and go past Kidron Valley, someone will kill you. And it will be your own fault.”
