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.

Verse 42 is found in chapter 2 of 1 Kings. Shimei receives strict instructions to remain in Jerusalem and not cross the Kidron Valley. When he disobeys by searching for his runaway servants, Solomon interprets the violation as a breach of the oath and orders his death. With this episode, the political purge begun at the start of the reign comes to an end. The text presents a kingdom that has moved from succession uncertainty to firmly established royal authority.
