⁴⁴ The king also said to Shimei, “You know in your own heart ^(A)all the harm that you did to David my father. So the Lord will ^(B)bring back your harm on your own head. ⁴⁵ But King Solomon shall be blessed, ^(C)and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever.” ⁴⁶ Then the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck him down, and he died.
