1 Kings 2:36 in Context — 1 Kings 2
34 Então Benaia, filho de Joiada, subiu, e o golpeou, e o matou; e foi sepultado em sua casa no deserto.
35 E o rei pôs em seu lugar a Benaia, filho de Joiada, sobre o exército; e o rei pôs por sacerdote a Zadoque em lugar de Abiatar.
36 Depois o rei mandou convocar Simei, e disse-lhe: Edifica para ti uma casa em Jerusalém, e mora ali, e não saias de lá à uma parte nem à outra;
37 porque sabe com certeza que no dia que saíres, e passares o ribeiro de Cedrom, sem dúvida morrerás, e teu sangue será sobre a tua cabeça.
38 E Simei disse ao rei: A palavra é boa; como o rei, meu senhor, disse, assim teu servo o fará. E Simei morou em Jerusalém por muitos dias.
