And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host： and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.

　　2：36 王差遣人将示每召来，对他说，你要在耶路撒冷建造房屋居住，不可出来往别处去。

　　And the king sent and called for Shimei， and said unto him， Build thee an house in Jerusalem， and dwell there， and go not forth thence any whither.

　　2：37 你当确实地知道，你何日出来过汲沦溪，何日必死。你的罪（原文作血）必归到自己的头上。

　　For it shall be， that on the day thou goest out， and passest over the brook Kidron， thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die： thy blood shall be upon thine own head.

　　2：38 示每对王说，这话甚好。我主我王怎样说，仆人必怎样行。于是示每多日住在耶路撒冷。

　　And Shimei said unto the king， The saying is good： as my lord the king hath said， so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

　　2：39 过了三年，示每的两个仆人逃到迦特王玛迦的儿子亚吉那里去。有人告诉示每说，你的仆人在迦特。

　　And it came to pass at the end of three years， that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei， saying， Behold， thy servants be in Gath.

　　2：40 示每起来，备上驴，往迦特到亚吉那里去找他的仆人，就从迦特带他仆人回来。

　　And Shimei arose， and saddled his ass， and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants： and Shimei went， and brought his servants from Gath.

　　2：41 有人告诉所罗门说，示每出耶路撒冷往迦特去，回来了。

　　And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath， and was come again.

　　2：42 王就差遣人将示每召了来，对他说，我岂不是叫你指着耶和华起誓，并且警戒你说你当确实地知道，你哪日出来往别处去，那日必死吗。你也对我说，这话甚好，我必听从。

　　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.

　　2：43 现在你为何不遵守你指着耶和华起的誓和我所吩咐你的命令呢。

　　Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD， and the commandment that I have charged thee with？

　　2：44 王又对示每说，你向我父亲大卫所行的一切恶事，你自己心里也知道，所以耶和华必使你的罪恶归到自己的头上。

　　The king said moreover to Shimei， Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to， that thou didst to David my father： therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head；

　　2：45 惟有所罗门王必得福，并且大卫的国位必在耶和华面前坚定，直到永远。

　　And king Solomon shall be blessed， and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.

　　2：46 于是王吩咐耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅，他就去杀死示每。这样，便坚定了所罗门的国位。

　　So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada； which went out， and fell upon him， that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
