Get out, you man of bloodshed, you worthless man! 8 The Lord has repaid you for all the bloodshed in the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned.

• 2 Sam 19:16-23 : 16 So the king came back and reached the Jordan River. The men of Judah came to Gilgal to meet the king and to bring him across the Jordan. 17 Shimei son of Gera, the Benjaminite from Bahurim, hurried down with the men of Judah to meet King David. 18 With him were a thousand Benjaminites, along with Ziba, the steward of Saul's household, and his fifteen sons and twenty servants. They rushed to the Jordan, ahead of the king, 19 and crossed at the ford to bring the king's household over and to do whatever pleased him. When Shimei son of Gera crossed the Jordan, he fell down before the king. 20 He said to the king, 'May my lord not hold me guilty. Do not remember the wrong your servant did on the day my lord the king left Jerusalem. May the king not take it to heart.' 21 'For I, your servant, know that I have sinned. But today I have come here as the first of the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king.' 22 But Abishai son of Zeruiah said, 'Shouldn't Shimei be put to death for this? He cursed the LORD's anointed!' 23 But David said, 'What do you and I have in common, you sons of Zeruiah? Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? Don’t I know that today I am king over Israel?'

Do not leave this city to go anywhere else.' 37 'For on the day you leave and cross the Kidron Valley, you can be sure that you will certainly die. Your blood will be on your own head.' 38 Shimei replied to the king, 'Your command is good. Just as my lord the king has said, so your servant will do.' And Shimei stayed in Jerusalem for a long time. 39 But after three years, two of Shimei's servants ran away to Achish son of Maacah, king of Gath. When Shimei was told, 'Your servants are in Gath,' 40 he saddled his donkey and went to Achish in Gath to search for them. He brought his servants back from Gath. 41 When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and returned, 42 the king summoned Shimei and said to him, 'Did I not make you swear by the LORD and warn you, “On the day you leave and go anywhere, you can be certain you will die”? And you said to me, “What you say is good; I will obey.” 43 Why then did you not keep your oath to the LORD and obey the command I gave you?' 44 The king said moreover to Shimei, 'You know in your heart all the evil you did to my father David. The LORD will repay you for your wickedness.' 45 'But King Solomon will be blessed, and David’s throne will remain secure before the LORD forever.' 46 Then the king gave the order to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei down, and he died. So the kingdom was firmly established in Solomon’s hands.
