1 Kings 2:32–37

³²Yahweh will return his blood on his head, because he fell upon two men, more righteous and better than he, and he killed them with the sword, even though my father David did not know it; namely Abner son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah. ³³And their blood will return on the head of Joab and on the head of his descendants forever, but for David and his descendants and for his house and his throne, there will be peace forever from Yahweh.” ³⁴So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up, and he fell on him and killed him, and he was buried in his house in the wilderness. ³⁵Then the king appointed Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army, and the king appointed Zadok the priest in place of Abiathar.

³⁶Then the king sent and summoned Shimei, and he said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, but you must not go out anywhere whatsoever^m from there. ³⁷It shall happen that on the day you go out and cross over the Wadiⁿ Kidron, know for certain that you will surely die.^o Your blood will be on your head.”
