1 Kings 2:44-46

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴⁴ The king also said to Shimei, “In your heart you know all the evil that you did to my father David. Now the Lord has brought your evil back on your own head. ⁴⁵ Now may King Solomon be blessed, and may David’s throne be firmly established before the Lord forever.”

⁴⁶ Then the king gave a command to Benaiah son of Jehoiada. He went out and struck down Shimei and killed him. In this way the kingship was firmly established in the hands of Solomon.
