1 Kings 2:32–37

³²And the Lord ^yshall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and ^zbetter than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, ^aAbner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and ^bAmasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah. ³³Their blood shall therefore return ^cupon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the Lord. ³⁴So ^dBenaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried ^ein his own house in the wilderness. ³⁵And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and ^fZadok the priest did the king put in the room of ^gAbiathar.

³⁶And the king sent and called for ^hShimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither. ³⁷For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over ⁱthe brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: ^jthy blood shall be upon thine own head.
