1 Kings 2:40 in Context — 1 Kings 2
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.
39 Porém passados três anos, aconteceu que se lhe fugiram a Simei dois servos a Aquis, filho de Maaca, rei de Gate. E avisaram a Simei, dizendo: Eis que teus servos estão em Gate.
40 Então Simei se levantou, preparou seu asno, e foi a Gate, a Aquis, para procurar seus servos. Assim Simei foi, e trouxe os seus servos de Gate.
41 E disseram a Salomão como Simei havia ido de Jerusalém a Gate, e que havia voltado.
42 Então o rei mandou que convocassem a Simei, e disse-lhe: Não te fiz jurar pelo SENHOR, e te adverti, dizendo: No dia que saíres, e fores para qualquer outro lugar, sabe que com certeza morrerás? E tu me disseste: A palavra é boa, eu a obedecerei.
