And Shimei rose up, and he saddled his donkey. And went away to Achish in Gath, in order to seek his servants. And he led them away from Gath.
And it was reported to Solomon that Shimei had gone away from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.
And sending, he summoned him, and he said to him: “Did I not testify to you by the Lord, and warn you in advance, ‘On whatever day, having departed, you go forth to here or to there, know that you shall die?’ And you responded to me, ‘The word that I have heard is good.’
Then why have you not kept the oath to the Lord, and the commandment which I instructed to you?”
And the king said to Shimei: “You know all the evil, of which your heart is conscious, which you did to David, my father. The Lord has repaid your wickedness upon your own head.”

And so the king commanded Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And going out, he struck him down, and he died.
