1 Kings 2:35-37

New International Reader's Version

³⁵ The king put Benaiah in charge of the army. Benaiah took Joab’s place. The king also put Zadok the priest in Abiathar’s place.

³⁶ Then the king sent for Shimei. He said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem. Live there. Don’t go anywhere else. ³⁷ You must not leave the city and go across the Kidron Valley. If you do, you can be sure you will die. And it will be your own fault.”
