  • 1 Kgs 2:8 : 8 And behold, you have with you Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, who cursed me bitterly on the day I went to Mahanaim. When he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD that I would not put him to death by the sword.
  • 2 Sam 16:5-9 : 5 When King David reached Bahurim, a man from the family of Saul’s household came out, cursing as he approached. His name was Shimei, son of Gera. 6 He threw stones at David and all the servants of King David, even though all the people and the mighty warriors surrounded him on his right and left. 7 As he cursed, Shimei shouted, "Get out! 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. The Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. You are now caught in your own evil, for you are a man of bloodshed." 9 Then Abishai, son of Zeruiah, said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head!" 10 But the king replied, "What does this have to do with you, sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the Lord told him to curse David, who can ask, 'Why did you do this?'" 11 David then said to Abishai and all his servants, "Look, my own son who came from my own body is trying to take my life. How much more now this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let him curse, for the Lord has told him to. 12 Perhaps the Lord will look upon my affliction and repay me with good for the curses I am receiving today. 13 So David and his men continued along the road, while Shimei kept pace with him on the hillside opposite, cursing and throwing stones and dirt at him.
  • 1 Kgs 2:36-46 : 36 Then the king sent for Shimei and said to him, 'Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem and live here. 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.
