1 Kings 2:42-44
1599 Geneva Bible
42 And the King sent and called Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the Lord, and protested unto thee, saying, That day that thou goest out, and walkest any whither, know assuredly that thou shalt die the death? And thou saidest unto me, The thing is good, that I have heard.
43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment wherewith I charged thee?
44 The King said also to Shimei, [a]Thou knowest all the wickedness whereunto thine heart is privy, that thou didst to David my father: the Lord therefore shall bring thy wickedness upon thine own head.
