1 Kings 2:36-38

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁶ Then the king told Shimei to come to him. He said to Shimei, ‘Build a house for yourself here in Jerusalem. Live in it all the time. Never leave to go anywhere else. ³⁷ If you ever leave the city and you cross the Kidron stream, you will certainly die. That will be a death that you choose for yourself.’ ³⁸ Shimei said to the king, ‘My lord the king, your words are good. I will do as you have decided.’

So Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time.
