1 Kings 2:43 Context
41And it was told Solomon, that Shimei had gone from Ierusalem to Gath, and was come againe. 42And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said vnto him, Did I not make thee to sweare by the Lord, and protested vnto thee, saying, Know for a certaine, that on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? And thou saidest vnto me, The word that I haue heard, is good. 43Why then hast thou not kept the Oath of the Lord, and the commandement that I haue charged thee with? 44The king said moreuer to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickednesse which thine heart is priuie to, that thou diddest to Dauid my father: therefore the Lord shall returne thy wickednesse vpon thine owne head. 45And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of Dauid shall bee established before the Lord for euer.
