²³ So the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And the king promised him on oath.^(A)

He had not taken care of his feet or trimmed his mustache or washed his clothes from the day the king left until the day he returned safely. ²⁵ When he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king asked him, “Why didn’t you go with me,^(C) Mephibosheth?”
