Context
2:42 the king summoned Shimei and said to him, “You will recall that I made you take an oath by the Lord , and I solemnly warned you, ‘If you ever leave and go anywhere , know for sure that you will certainly die .’ You said to me, ‘The proposal is acceptable ; I agree to it.’
2:43 Why then have you broken the oath you made before the Lord and disobeyed the order I gave you?”
2:44 Then the king said to Shimei , “You are well aware of the way you mistreated my father David . The Lord will punish you for what you did.
2:45 But King Solomon will be empowered and David’s dynasty will endure permanently before the Lord .”
2:46 The king then gave the order to Benaiah son of Jehoiada who went and executed Shimei. So Solomon took firm control of the kingdom .
