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.
43 Por que, pois, não guardaste o juramento do SENHOR, nem o mandamento que te impus?
