Bible Question:
Is handling Shimei over Solomon a David's strategy? I mean, when cursed by Shimei (2 Samuel 16:5-13), David was on his exile from Absalom, he had to show others his tolerance in purpose of gather people around him to fight Absolom. Thus he took an oath that he would not put Shimei down by sword. But David did not let Shimei go so easily. He instructed Solomon to do something upon Shimei(1 Kings 2:8-9). Thus, Solomon found an excuse to put Shimei to death. |
Bible Answer: Scripture 1 Kin 2:8-9, 36-46 .................. Solomon grounded Shimei to Jerusalem. Since he violated that order, he was killed. |
