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 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.

Next the king summoned Shimei and told him,“ Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there– but you may not leave there to go anywhere!

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 got some men to bring Adonijah down from the altar. He came and bowed down to King Solomon. Solomon said,“ Go on home.”

“ Don’t forget that Shimei, the son of Gera, is still around. He’s from Bahurim in the territory of Benjamin. Shimei cursed me bitterly. He did it on the day I went to Mahanaim. Later, he came down to welcome me at the Jordan River. At that time I made a promise in the name of the Lord. I promised Shimei,‘ I won’t put you to death with my sword.’But now I want you to think of him as guilty. You are wise. You will know what to do to him. Don’t let him live to become an old man. Put him to death.”

A wise king gets rid of evil people. He runs the threshing wheel over them.

King David approached Bahurim. As he did, a man came out toward him. The man was from the same family group that Saul was from. His name was Shimei. He was the son of Gera. As he came out of the town, he cursed David.He threw stones at David and all his officials. He did it even though all the troops and the special guard were there. They were to the right and left of David.As Shimei cursed, he said,“ Get out! Get out, you murderer! You are a worthless and evil man!You spilled the blood of a lot of people in Saul’s family. You took over his kingdom. Now the Lord is paying you back. He has handed the kingdom over to your son Absalom. You have been destroyed because you are a murderer!”Then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, spoke to the king. He said,“ King David, why should we let this dead dog curse you? Let me go over there. I’ll cut off his head.”

Absalom lived in Jerusalem for two years without going to see the king.

But the king said,“ He must go to his own house. I don’t want him to come and see me.” So Absalom went to his own house. He didn’t go to see the king.

A king sits on his throne to judge. He gets rid of all evil when he sees it.
