1 Kings 2:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ “And remember, Shimei son of Gera is here with you. He is from the people of Benjamin in Bahurim. Remember he cursed me the day I went to Mahanaim. Then he came down to meet me at the Jordan River. I promised him before the Lord, ‘Shimei, I will not kill you.’ ⁹ But you should not leave him unpunished. You are a wise man. You will know what to do to him. But you must be sure he is killed.”

¹⁰ Then David died and was buried with his ancestors in Jerusalem.
