  • 2 Sam 16:5-9 : 5 And when King David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came. 6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of King David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. 7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, you bloody man, and you man of Belial: 8 The LORD has returned upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son: and, behold, you are caught in your own mischief, because you are a bloody man. 9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray you, and take off his head. 10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? So let him curse, because the LORD has said to him, Curse David. Who then shall say, Why have you done so? 11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth from my own body, seeks my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? Let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD has bidden him. 12 It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction, and that the LORD will repay me good for his cursing this day. 13 And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
  • 1 Kgs 2:36-46 : 36 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, and do not go anywhere else. 37 For it shall be that on the day you go out and cross the brook Kidron, you shall know certainly that you shall surely die; your blood shall be on your own head. 38 And Shimei said to the king, The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so your servant will do. So Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days. 39 And it happened at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, your servants are in Gath. 40 So Shimei arose, saddled his donkey, and went to Achish at Gath to seek his servants; and Shimei went and brought his servants from Gath. 41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had come back. 42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make you swear by the Lord, and warned you, saying, Know for certain, on the day you go out and walk abroad anywhere, that you shall surely die? And you said to me, The word I have heard is good. 43 Why then have you not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment that I have charged you with? 44 The king said moreover to Shimei, You know all the wickedness which your heart knows very well, that you did to David my father; therefore the Lord will return your wickedness upon your own head. 45 And King Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord forever. 46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck him down and he died. And the kingdom was firmly established in the hand of Solomon.
