1 Kings 2:36 in Context — 1 Kings 2
34 Benaja, fils de Jehojada, monta, frappa Joab, et le fit mourir. Il fut enterré dans sa maison, au désert.
35 Le roi mit à la tête de l’armée Benaja, fils de Jehojada, en remplacement de Joab, et il mit le sacrificateur Tsadok à la place d’Abiathar.
36 Le roi fit appeler Schimeï, et lui dit: Bâtis-toi une maison à Jérusalem; tu y demeureras, et tu n’en sortiras point pour aller de côté ou d’autre.
37 Sache bien que tu mourras le jour où tu sortiras et passeras le torrent de Cédron; ton sang sera sur ta tête.
38 Schimeï répondit au roi: C’est bien! Ton serviteur fera ce que dit mon seigneur le roi. Et Schimeï demeura longtemps à Jérusalem.
