But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD's anointed?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 21 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.
