1 Kings 2:44-46 ▼

44 The king also said to Shimei, “You yourself know all the evil that you acknowledge in your heart, which you did to my father David; therefore the LORD will return your evil on your own head.

45 But King Solomon will be blessed, and the throne of David will be established before the LORD forever.”

46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck him so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hands of Solomon.
