1 Kings 2:8

2:8

And, behold, [thou hast] with thee Shimei
<08096>

the son
<01121>

of Gera
<01617>_,

a Benjamite
<01145>

of Bahurim
<0980>_,

which cursed
<07043> (8765)

me with a grievous
<04834> (8737)

curse
<07045>

in the day
<03117>

when I went
<03212> (8800)

to Mahanaim
<04266>_:

but he came down
<03381> (8804)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

me at Jordan
<03383>_,

and I sware
<07650> (8735)

to him by the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I will not put thee to death
<04191> (8686)

with the sword
<02719>_.

{grievous: Heb. strong}

1 Kings 2:36-46

2:36

And the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

for Shimei
<08096>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Build
<01129> (8798)

thee an house
<01004>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and dwell
<03427> (8804)

there, and go not forth
<03318> (8799)

thence any whither
<0575>_.

2:37

For it shall be, [that] on the day
<03117>

thou goest out
<03318> (8800)_,

and passest over
<05674> (8804)

the brook
<05158>

Kidron
<06939>_,

thou shalt know
<03045> (8799)

for certain
<03045> (8800)

that thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_:

thy blood
<01818>

shall be upon thine own head
<07218>_.

2:38

And Shimei
<08096>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

The saying
<01697>

[is] good
<02896>_:

as my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

hath said
<01696> (8765)_,

so will thy servant
<05650>

do
<06213> (8799)_.

And Shimei
<08096>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Jerusalem
<03389>

many
<07227>

days
<03117>_.

2:39

And it came to pass at the end
<07093>

of three
<07969>

years
<08141>_,

that two
<08147>

of the servants
<05650>

of Shimei
<08096>

ran away
<01272> (8799)

unto Achish
<0397>

son
<01121>

of Maachah
<04601>

king
<04428>

of Gath
<01661>_.

And they told
<05046> (8686)

Shimei
<08096>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, thy servants
<05650>

[be] in Gath
<01661>_.

2:40

And Shimei
<08096>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and saddled
<02280> (8799)

his ass
<02543>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Gath
<01661>

to Achish
<0397>

to seek
<01245> (8763)

his servants
<05650>_:

and Shimei
<08096>

went
<03212> (8799)_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

his servants
<05650>

from Gath
<01661>_.

2:41

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

Solomon
<08010>

that Shimei
<08096>

had gone
<01980> (8804)

from Jerusalem
<03389>

to Gath
<01661>_,

and was come again
<07725> (8799)_.

2:42

And the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

for Shimei
<08096>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Did I not make thee to swear
<07650> (8689)

by the LORD
<03068>_,

and protested
<05749> (8686)

unto thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Know
<03045> (8799)

for a certain
<03045> (8800)_,

on the day
<03117>

thou goest out
<03318> (8800)_,

and walkest
<01980> (8804)

abroad any whither
<0575>_,

that thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_?

and thou saidst
<0559> (8799)

unto me, The word
<01697>

[that] I have heard
<08085> (8804)

[is] good
<02896>_.

2:43

Why then hast thou not kept
<08104> (8804)

the oath
<07621>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the commandment
<04687>

that I have charged
<06680> (8765)

thee with?

2:44

The king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

moreover to Shimei
<08096>_,

Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

all the wickedness
<07451>

which thine heart
<03824>

is privy to
<03045> (8804)_,

that thou didst
<06213> (8804)

to David
<01732>

my father
<01>_:

therefore the LORD
<03068>

shall return
<07725> (8689)

thy wickedness
<07451>

upon thine own head
<07218>_;

2:45

And king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

[shall be] blessed
<01288> (8803)_,

and the throne
<03678>

of David
<01732>

shall be established
<03559> (8737)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

2:46

So the king
<04428>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>_;

which went out
<03318> (8799)_,

and fell
<06293> (8799)

upon him, that he died
<04191> (8799)_.

And the kingdom
<04467>

was established
<03559> (8738)

in the hand
<03027>

of Solomon
<08010>_.
