1 Kings 2:42-44

Tree of Life Version

⁴² So the king sent someone and summoned Shimei. He said to him: “Didn’t I make you swear by Adonai and forewarned you, saying: ‘Know for certain that on the day you depart and go anywhere else, you shall surely die’? You even said to me: ‘The saying is good; I have heard it.’ ⁴³ Why then haven’t you kept the oath of Adonai and the commandment that I charged you with?” ⁴⁴ The king added to Shimei: “You know all the evil, which your heart should acknowledge, that you did to my father David. Therefore Adonai will return your evil on your own head.
