2 Samuel 19:21-23

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²¹ Abishai son of Zeruiah asked, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the Lord’s anointed?”^(A)

²² David answered, “Sons of Zeruiah, do we agree on anything?^(B) Have you become my adversary today? Should any man be killed in Israel today? Am I not aware that today I’m king over Israel?” ²³ So the king said to Shimei, “You will not die.” Then the king gave him his oath.^(C)
