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.
