2 Samuel 19:21 In-Context

19 He pleaded with the king, "Don't remember the crime I committed the day you left Jerusalem. Don't hold it against me or even think about it, Your Majesty.
20 I know I've sinned. Today I've come as the first of all the house of Joseph to meet you."
21 But Abishai, Zeruiah's son, replied, "Shouldn't Shimei be put to death for cursing the LORD's anointed king?"
22 David responded, "Are you sure we're from the same family, sons of Zeruiah? You are my enemies today. Should anyone in Israel be killed today? Don't I know that I'm king of Israel again?"
23 The king promised Shimei, "You won't die," and the king swore to it.
