1 Kings 2:44-46

New King James Version

⁴⁴ The king said moreover to Shimei, “You know, as your heart acknowledges, ^(A)all the wickedness that you did to my father David; therefore the Lord will ^(B)return your wickedness on your own head. ⁴⁵ But King Solomon shall be blessed, and ^(C)the throne of David shall be established before the Lord forever.”

⁴⁶ So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out and struck him down, and he died. Thus the ^(D)kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
