1 Kings 2:42-43

2:42 the king summoned ¹  Shimei and said to him, “You will recall ²  that I made you take an oath by the Lord, and I solemnly warned you, ‘If you ever leave and go anywhere, ³  know for sure that you will certainly die.’ You said to me, ‘The proposal is acceptable; I agree to it.’ ⁴  2:43 Why then have you broken the oath you made before the Lord and disobeyed the order I gave you?” ⁵ 

[2:42]  ¹ tn Heb “sent and summoned.”

[2:42]  ² tn Heb “Is it not [true]…?” In the Hebrew text the statement is interrogative; the rhetorical question expects the answer, “Of course it is.”

[2:42]  ³ tn Heb “here or there.”

[2:42]  ⁴ tn Heb “good is the word; I have heard.”

[2:43]  ⁵ tn Heb “Why have you not kept the oath [to] the Lord and the commandment I commanded you?”
