Then the king sent for Shimei and said to him,“ Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, but do not go anywhere else.

Then the king sent for Shimei. He said to him,“ Build yourself a house in Jerusalem. Live there. Don’t go anywhere else.

Then the king sent and summoned Shimei and said to him,“ Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and dwell there, and do not go out from there to any place whatever.

The king then sent for Shimei and told him,“ Build a house here in Jerusalem and live there. But don’t step outside the city to go anywhere else.

Then the king summoned Shimei and said to him,“ Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem and live there, but don’t leave there and go anywhere else.

Now the king sent men and summoned Shimei, and said to him,“ Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, and do not leave there for any other place.

Then the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him,“ Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and dwell there, and do not go out from there anywhere.

And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.

Then the king summoned Shimei and said to him,“ Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem and live there, but don’t leave there and go anywhere else.

And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.

The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him,“ Build yourself a house in Jerusalem, and live there, and don’t go anywhere else.

King Solomon sent men to bring him down from the altar. He came and bowed down to King Solomon, and Solomon told him,“ Go home.”

“ Note well, you still have to contend with Shimei son of Gera, the Benjaminite from Bahurim, who tried to call down upon me a horrible judgment when I went to Mahanaim. He came down and met me at the Jordan, and I solemnly promised him by the LORD,‘ I will not strike you down with the sword.’But now don’t treat him as if he were innocent. You are a wise man and you know how to handle him; make sure he has a bloody death.”

A wise king separates out the wicked; he turns the threshing wheel over them.

Then King David reached Bahurim. There a man from Saul’s extended family named Shimei son of Gera came out, yelling curses as he approached.He threw stones at David and all of King David’s servants, as well as all the people and the soldiers who were on his right and on his left.As he yelled curses, Shimei said,“ Leave! Leave! You man of bloodshed, you wicked man!The LORD has punished you for all the spilled blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you rule. Now the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. Disaster has overtaken you, for you are a man of bloodshed!”Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king,“ Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head!”

Absalom lived in Jerusalem for two years without seeing the king’s face.

But the king said,“ Let him go over to his own house. He may not see my face.” So Absalom went over to his own house; he did not see the king’s face.

A king sitting on the throne to judge separates out all evil with his eyes.
