1 Kings 2:43 in Context — 1 Kings 2

41 Díjose luego á Salomón como Semei había ido de Jerusalem hasta Gath, y que había vuelto.

42 Entonces el rey envió, é hizo venir á Semei, y díjole: ¿No te conjuré yo por Jehová, y te protesté, diciendo: El día que salieres, y fueres acá ó acullá, sabe de cierto que has de morir? Y tú me dijiste: La palabra es buena, yo la obedezco.

43 ¿Por qué pues no guardaste el juramento de Jehová, y el mandamiento que yo te impuse?

44 Dijo además el rey á Semei: Tú sabes todo el mal, el cual tu corazón bien sabe, que cometiste contra mi padre David; Jehová pues, ha tornado el mal sobre tu cabeza.

45 Y el rey Salomón será bendito, y el trono de David será firme perpetuamente delante de Jehová.
