1 Reis 2:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 2:8

And behold [thou hast] with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a
Benjamite of Bahurim
Of whom, and of his native place, (See Gill on 2 Samuel 16:5); he was now at Jerusalem, and so with Solomon, or near at hand; and was on his side, and of his party; see ( 1 Kings 1:8 ) ; but not to be trusted, or looked upon as a real friend:

which cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went to Mahanaim;
a place on the other side Jordan, of which place, and the curses this man cursed David, with, see ( 2 Samuel 16:7 2 Samuel 16:8 ) ( 17:24 ) ;

but he came down to me at Jordan;
after the defeat of Absalom, and when David was returning, and humbled himself to him, and begged his pardon:

and I sware unto him by the Lord, saying, I will not put thee to death
with the sword;
but this oath was not binding upon his successor, and especially should he commit a new crime.

1 Reis 2:8 In-Context

6 Faze, pois, segundo a tua sabedoria, e não permitas que suas cãs desçam � sepultura em paz.
7 Mas para com os filhos de Barzilai, o gileadita, usa de benevolência, e estejam eles entre os que comem � tua mesa; porque assim se houveram comigo, quando eu fugia por causa de teu irmão Absalão.
8 E eis que também contigo está Simei, filho de Gêra, benjamita, de Baurim, que me lançou atroz maldição, no dia em que eu ia a Maanaim; porém ele saiu a encontrar-se comigo junto ao Jordão, e eu lhe jurei pelo Senhor, dizendo: Não te matarei � espada.
9 Agora, porém, não o tenhas por inocente; pois és homem sábio, e bem saberás o que lhe hás de fazer; farás com que as suas cãs desçam � sepultura com sangue.
10 Depois Davi dormiu com seus pais, e foi sepultado na cidade de Davi.
