2 Samuel 19:21-23

Revised Geneva Translation

²¹ But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, answered and said, “Shall not Shimei die for this, because he cursed the LORD’s anointed?”

²² And David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that this day you should be adversaries to me? Shall there any man die this day in Israel? For do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?”

²³ Therefore, the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And the king swore to him.
