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?
