1 Kings 2:40-42

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴⁰ So Shimei prepared his donkey and he left home. He went to Achish in Gath to look for his slaves. He found them and he brought them back from Gath. ⁴¹ Someone told Solomon that Shimei had travelled from Jerusalem to Gath and now he had returned. ⁴² So the king told Shimei to come to him. He said to Shimei, ‘You made a strong promise to me in the Lord's name. I am sure that you remember that! I warned you never to leave Jerusalem. I said that if you went anywhere else, you would certainly die. You said to me at that time, “I agree with what you have said.”
