1 Kings 2:41-43

The Message

⁴¹ Solomon was told, “Shimei left Jerusalem for Gath, and now he’s back.”

^42-43 Solomon then called for Shimei and said, “Didn’t I make you promise me under God, and give you a good warning besides, that you would not leave this area? That if you left you would have decreed your own death sentence? And didn’t you say, ‘Oh, thank you—I’ll do exactly as you say’? So why didn’t you keep your sacred promise and do what I ordered?”
