1 Kings 2:36-38

International Children’s Bible

³⁶ Next the king sent for Shimei. The king said to him, “Build a house for yourself here in Jerusalem. Live in the house, and don’t leave the city. ³⁷ If you leave and go past Kidron Valley, someone will kill you. And it will be your own fault.”

³⁸ So Shimei answered the king, “What you have said is good. I will obey you, my master and king.” So Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time.
