Verse 20 is found in chapter 19 of 2 Samuel. Shimei comes to meet David and confesses his earlier conduct. Abishai again proposes his death, but David swears that he will not kill him. The decision reaffirms the moderation shown during the flight. David appears to understand that national restoration requires limiting revenge. The king returning to Jerusalem must govern people who were on both sides of the conflict, and political forgiveness may contribute to rebuilding unity.
