38 Schimeï répondit au roi: C’est bien! Ton serviteur fera ce que dit mon seigneur le roi. Et Schimeï demeura longtemps à Jérusalem.
39 Au bout de trois ans, il arriva que deux serviteurs de Schimeï s’enfuirent chez Akisch, fils de Maaca, roi de Gath. On le rapporta à Schimeï, en disant: Voici, tes serviteurs sont à Gath.
40 Schimeï se leva, sella son âne, et s’en alla à Gath chez Akisch pour chercher ses serviteurs. Schimeï donc s’en alla, et il ramena de Gath ses serviteurs.
41 On informa Salomon que Schimeï était allé de Jérusalem à Gath, et qu’il était de retour.
42 Le roi fit appeler Schimeï, et lui dit: Ne t’avais-je pas fait jurer par l’Éternel, et ne t’avais-je pas fait cette déclaration formelle: Sache bien que tu mourras le jour où tu sortiras pour aller de côté ou d’autre? Et ne m’as-tu pas répondu: C’est bien! J’ai entendu?
