1 Kings 2:42-44

International Children’s Bible

⁴² So Solomon sent for Shimei. Solomon said, “I made you promise in the name of the Lord not to leave Jerusalem. I warned you that if you went anywhere else you would die. And you agreed to what I said. You said you would obey me. ⁴³ Why did you break your promise to the Lord? Why did you not obey my command? ⁴⁴ You know the many wrong things you did against my father David. Now the Lord will punish you for those wrongs.
