2 Samuel 19:23

Therefore the king said unto Shimei, thou shalt not die
This day by my hands, or order, or by the sword, ( 1 Kings 2:8 ) ;

and the king sware unto him;
that he should not die for that offence, or for that only; but if he committed a new one, this oath was no longer binding on him, and not at all upon his heir and successor.
