21 Abishai son of Zeruiah replied, |For this should not Shimei be put to death? After all, he cursed the LORD's anointed!| 22 But David said, |What do we have in common, you sons of Zeruiah? You are like my enemy today! Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? Don't you realize that today I am king over Israel?| 23 The king said to Shimei, |You won't die.| The king vowed an oath concerning this. 2 Samuel 19:21-23, New English Translation.
