36 Next the king summoned Shimei and told him, |Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there--but you may not leave there to go anywhere! 37 If you ever do leave and cross the Kidron Valley, know for sure that you will certainly die! You will be responsible for your own death.| 38 Shimei said to the king, |My master the king's proposal is acceptable. Your servant will do as you say.| So Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time. 1 Kings 2:36-38, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
