SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:42
Entonces el rey envió, e hizo venir a Simei, y le dijo: ¿No te conjuré yo por el SEÑOR, y te protesté, diciendo: El día que salieres, y fueres acá o allá, sabe de cierto que has de morir? Y tú me dijiste: La palabra es buena, yo la obedezco.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 42. And the king sent and called for Shimei , etc.] He sent messengers to him, and by them ordered him to come to him, who accordingly came: and he said unto him, did not I make thee swear by the Lord ; which, though not before mentioned, was no doubt done, nor did Shimei deny it: and protested unto thee ; that is, declared before witnesses: saying, know for certain, that on the day thou goest out ; namely, out of the city of Jerusalem: and walkest abroad any whither ; further at most than the brook Kidron, or any other place equally distant from Jerusalem, on any side of it; for when he went to Gath, he did not go over Kidron, but went the road the other way around. Kidron lay to the east, and Gath to the west of Jerusalem: now the protestation made to him was, that if he went out of Jerusalem any way, that thou shalt surely die ; it would be sure and certain death to him: and thou saidst unto me, the word [that] I have heard [is] good ; not only he promised to obey it, and that with an oath, but declared it was agreeable and acceptable to him, and therefore the offence was a very aggravated one.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 35-46 - The old malignity remains in the unconverted heart, and a watchful ey should be kept on those who, like Shimei, have manifested their enmity but have given no evidence of repentance. No engagements or danger will restrain worldly men; they go on, though they forfeit their live and souls. Let us remember, God will not accommodate his judgment to us. His eye is over us; and let us strive to walk as in his presence Let our every act, word, and thought, be governed by this great truth that the hour is quickly coming when the smallest circumstances of ou lives shall be brought to light, and our eternal state be fixed by righteous and unerring God. Thus Solomon's throne was established in peace, as the type of the Redeemer's kingdom of peace an righteousness. And it is a comfort, in reference to the enmity of the church's enemies, that, how much soever they rage, it is a vain thin they imagine. Christ's throne is established, and they cannot shake it __________________________________________________________________
