What does 1 Kings 2:46 mean?
So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, which
went
out
From the presence of the king, and took Shimei with him to the
proper place of execution, it not being fitting to execute him
before the king:
and fell upon him, that he died;
put him to death by the sword:
and the kingdom was established in the hand of
Solomon;
Adonijah the usurper, and Joab the general of the army, who took
on his side, being both put to death; and Abiathar the high
priest deposed, who was in the same conspiracy; and Shimei, a
dangerous and troublesome man, dispatched, there remained none to
give any disturbance; so that he now sat easy and quiet on his
throne, and things with respect to the civil government were on a
firm and settled foundation.
