2 Samuel 19:21-23

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²¹ Abishai son of Zeruiah answered, ‘Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the Lord’s anointed?’ ²² But David said, ‘What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should today become an adversary to me? Shall anyone be put to death in Israel this day? For do I not know that I am this day king over Israel?’ ²³ The king said to Shimei, ‘You shall not die.’ And the king gave him his oath.
