1 Kings 2:42

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not adjure thee by Jehovah, and protest unto thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The saying that I have heard is good." — 1 Kings 2:42 (ASV)

Did I not make you swear - The Septuagint adds to 1 Kings 2:37 a clause stating that Solomon “made Shimei swear” on the day when he commanded him to reside at Jerusalem.
