फिर तूने यहोवा की शपथ और मेरी दृढ़ आज्ञा क्यों नहीं मानी?”

In context

41Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had come again.

42The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Didn’t I adjure you by the LORD and warn you, saying, ‘Know for certain that on the day you go out and walk anywhere else, you shall surely die’? You said to me, ‘The saying that I have heard is good.’

43Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD and the commandment that I have instructed you with?”

44The king said moreover to Shimei, “You know in your heart all the wickedness that you did to David my father. Therefore the LORD will return your wickedness on your own head.

45But King Solomon will be blessed, and David’s throne will be established before the LORD forever.”
