2 Samuel 19:21-23

GOD’S WORD Translation

²¹ But Abishai, Zeruiah’s son, replied, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for cursing the Lord’s anointed king?”

²² David responded, “Are you sure we’re from the same family, sons of Zeruiah? You are my enemies today. Should anyone in Israel be killed today? Don’t I know that I’m king of Israel again?”

²³ The king promised Shimei, “You won’t die,” and the king swore to it.
