2 Samuel 19:21-23

New Life Version

²¹ But Zeruiah’s son Abishai answered, “Should not Shimei be put to death for this? He spoke against the Lord’s chosen one.” ²² But David said, “What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah? Why should you be against me this day? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? For do I not know that this day I am king of Israel?” ²³ The king said to Shimei, “You will not die.” And the king gave him his promise.
