1 Kings 2:44-46

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴⁴ Shimei, you know in your heart all the evil that you did to my father David. The Lord is going to pay you back for the evil you have done. ⁴⁵ But King Solomon is blessed, and David’s dynasty will always be firmly established by the Lord.”

⁴⁶ Then the king gave orders to Benaiah, son of Jehoiada. He went to attack and kill Shimei.

Solomon’s power as king was now firmly established.
