1 Kings 2:37-39

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁷ If you ever leave the city and you cross the Kidron stream, you will certainly die. That will be a death that you choose for yourself.’ ³⁸ Shimei said to the king, ‘My lord the king, your words are good. I will do as you have decided.’

So Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time. ³⁹ But after three years, two of his slaves ran away. They went to Achish, who was the son of Maakah, the king of Gath. Someone told Shimei, ‘Your slaves are in Gath.’
