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.

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.

So King Solomon summoned Adonijah, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed respectfully before King Solomon, who dismissed him, saying,“ Go on home.”

“ And remember Shimei son of Gera, the man from Bahurim in Benjamin. He cursed me with a terrible curse as I was fleeing to Mahanaim. When he came down to meet me at the Jordan River, I swore by the Lord that I would not kill him.But that oath does not make him innocent. You are a wise man, and you will know how to arrange a bloody death for him.”

A wise king scatters the wicked like wheat, then runs his threshing wheel over them.

As King David came to Bahurim, a man came out of the village cursing them. It was Shimei son of Gera, from the same clan as Saul’s family.He threw stones at the king and the king’s officers and all the mighty warriors who surrounded him.“ Get out of here, you murderer, you scoundrel!” he shouted at David.“ The Lord is paying you back for all the bloodshed in Saul’s clan. You stole his throne, and now the Lord has given it to your son Absalom. At last you will taste some of your own medicine, for you are a murderer!”“ Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king?” Abishai son of Zeruiah demanded.“ Let me go over and cut off his head!”

Absalom lived in Jerusalem for two years, but he never got to see the king.

But the king gave this order:“ Absalom may go to his own house, but he must never come into my presence.” So Absalom did not see the king.

When a king sits in judgment, he weighs all the evidence, distinguishing the bad from the good.
