1 Kings 2:36-46 - Shimei's Banishment And Execution
36 The king sent for Shimei and said to him: Build a house for yourself here in Jerusalem. Live in it and do not leave the city. 37 If you ever leave and go beyond Kidron Brook, you will die and it will be your fault.
38 As you say, Your Majesty, Shimei answered. I will do what you say. So he lived in Jerusalem a long time.
39 Three years later, however, two of Shimei's slaves ran away to the king of Gath, Achish son of Maacah. When Shimei heard that they were in Gath, 40 he saddled his donkey and went to King Achish in Gath, to find his slaves. He found them and brought them back home.
41 When Solomon heard what Shimei did, 42 he sent for him and said: I made you promise in Jehovah's name not to leave Jerusalem. I warned you that if you ever did, you would die. Did you not agree to it and say that you would obey me? 43 Why did you break your promise and disobey my command? 44 You know very well all the wrong that you did to my father David. Jehovah will punish you for it. 45 But he will bless me, and he will make David's kingdom secure forever.
46 The king gave orders to Benaiah son of Jehoiada. He killed Shimei. Solomon was now in complete control.
