43 Why then haven’t you kept the oath of Adonai and the commandment that I charged you with?”
44 The king added to Shimei: “You know all the evil, which your heart should acknowledge, that you did to my father David. Therefore Adonai will return your evil on your own head.
45 But King Solomon shall be blessed and the throne of David established before Adonai forever.”
46 So the king commanded Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck him down, so that he died. Thus the kingdom was secured in the hand of Solomon.
