1 Kings 2:43-46
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.
