## 1 Kings 2:44 in Context (Verses 41–46 KJV)
 
 [41 ](/kjv/1-kings/2/41) And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.
 
 [42 ](/kjv/1-kings/2/42) 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.
 
 [43 ](/kjv/1-kings/2/43) Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?
 
 [44 ](/kjv/1-kings/2/44) 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;
 
 [45 ](/kjv/1-kings/2/45) And king Solomon *shall be* blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.
 
 [46 ](/kjv/1-kings/2/46) 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.
