21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, “Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’s anointed?” 22 David then said, “What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah, that you should this day be an adversary to me? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? For do I not know that I am king over Israel today?” 23 And the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” Thus the king swore to him. 2 Samuel 19:21-23, New American Standard 1977.
