This display of [Shemei's] followers was to show what force he could raise against or in support of the king. Expressing the deepest regret for his former outrageous conduct, he was pardoned on the spot; and although the son of Zeruiah urged the expediency of making this chief a public example, his officiousness was repulsed by David with magnanimity, and with the greater confidence that he felt himself now re-established in the kingdom (see on 1Ki 2:8).

Poole: 2Sa 19:23 - -- Thou shalt not die to wit, this day, as Abishai desireth; nor whilst I live, nor by my hands, as it is repeated and explained, 1Ki 2:8 ; nor for this...

Thou shalt not die to wit, this day, as Abishai desireth; nor whilst I live, nor by my hands, as it is repeated and explained, 1Ki 2:8 ; nor for this cause alone. For though David gave order to Solomon for his punishment after his death; nor was it fit for the public good that such a horrid crime should go unpunished; yet he would not have him punished for this fault alone, but for some other capital crime, which he presumed Shimei’ s temper would easily betray him to, and Solomon’ s deep wisdom would easily find out, 1Ki 2:9 .

The king sware unto him that he would not put him to death with the sword , as it is expressed, 1Ki 2:8 .

Haydock: 2Sa 19:23 - -- Die, during my life, (Menochius) or by my hand, without some farther transgression. Hence the oath is worded, I will not kill thee with the sword, ...

Die, during my life, (Menochius) or by my hand, without some farther transgression. Hence the oath is worded, I will not kill thee with the sword, 3 Kings ii. 8. (Haydock) ---

Solomon was charged not to let his crime pass unpunished. But he did not kill him till he had shewed his disobedience. (Calmet) ---

The oaths of parents do not always (Haydock) pertain to their heirs. (Grotius)

Gill: 2Sa 19:23 - -- Therefore the king said unto Shimei, thou shalt not die,.... This day by my hands, or order, or by the sword, 1Ki 2:8, and the king sware unto him;...

Therefore the king said unto Shimei, thou shalt not die,.... This day by my hands, or order, or by the sword, 1Ki 2:8,

and the king sware unto him; that he should not die for that offence, or for that only; but if he committed a new one, this oath was no longer binding on him, and not at all upon his heir and successor.
