1 Kings 2:36-38
New English Translation
36 Next the king summoned[a] Shimei and told him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, but you may not leave there to go anywhere.[b] 37 If you ever do leave and cross the Kidron Valley, know for sure that you will certainly die. You will be responsible for your own death.”[c] 38 Shimei said to the king, “My master the king’s proposal is acceptable.[d] Your servant will do as you say.”[e] So Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time.[f]
