1 Kings 2:36-38

New International Reader's Version

³⁶ Then the king sent for Shimei. He said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem. Live there. Don’t go anywhere else. ³⁷ You must not leave the city and go across the Kidron Valley. If you do, you can be sure you will die. And it will be your own fault.”

³⁸ Shimei replied to the king, “You are my king and master. What you say is good. I’ll do it.” Shimei stayed in Jerusalem for a long time.
