11:002:037 For it shall be, that on the day thou goest
out, and passest
over
the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that
thou
shalt
surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own
head.
11:002:038 And Shimei said unto the king, The saying
is good: as my lord
the
king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei
dwelt
in
Jerusalem many days.
11:002:039 And it came to pass at the end of three
years, that two of the
servants
of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king
of
Gath.
And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants
be in
Gath.
11:002:040 And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass,
and went to Gath to
Achish
to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought
his
servants
from Gath.
11:002:041 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had
gone from Jerusalem to
Gath,
and was come again.
11:002:042 And the king sent and called for Shimei,
and said unto him,
Did
I not make thee to swear by the lord, and protested
unto
thee,
saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out,
and
walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely
die?
and
thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is
good.
11:002:043 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of
the lord, and the
commandment
that I have charged thee with?
11:002:044 The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou
knowest all the
wickedness
which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to
David
my father: therefore the lord shall return
thy
wickedness
upon thine own head;
11:002:045 And king Solomon shall be blessed, and
the throne of David
shall
be established before the lord for ever.
11:002:046 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of
Jehoiada; which went
out,
and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom
was
established
in the hand of Solomon.
11:003:001 And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh
king of Egypt, and took
Pharaoh’s
daughter, and brought her into the city of David,
until
he had made an end of building his own house, and the
house
of the lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
11:003:002 Only the people sacrificed in high places,
because there was
no
house built unto the name of the lord, until those
days.
11:003:003 And Solomon loved the lord, walking
in the statutes of David
his
father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in
high
places.
11:003:004 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice
there; for that was
the
great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did
Solomon
offer
upon that altar.
