²¹ But Abishai son of Zeruiah said, “·Shimei should die [^LShould not Shimei die…?] because he cursed you, the Lord’s ·appointed king [anointed; 16:5–14]!”

²² David said, “·This does not concern [^LWhat does this have to do with…?] you, sons of Zeruiah! Today you’re ·against me [my adversary]! No one will be put to death in Israel today. Today I know I am king over Israel!” ²³ Then the king ·promised [vowed to] Shimei, “You won’t die [1 Kin. 2:8–9, 41–46].”
