2 Samuel 19:21-23

The Voice

Abishai: My lord, shouldn’t Shimei be executed for cursing the Eternal’s anointed king with such contempt?

David: ²² What business is that of yours, sons of Zeruiah? Why should you make yourself my opponent? Will I execute anyone in Israel on a day like this? Don’t I know that today I am the king of Israel? ²³ (to Shimei) You will not die. I swear it.
