1 Re 2:37 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 2:37

For it shall be, [that] on the day thou goest out
Out of the city of Jerusalem: and passest over the brook Kidron: which is particularly mentioned, because this lay in his way to Bahurim, his native place; he must cross that to go to it, see ( 2 Samuel 15:23 ) ( 16:5 ) ; and where it might reasonably be supposed he would some time or another be inclined to go, through business, or a desire to see it again:

thou shalt know for certain that thou shall surely die:
it may be depended on as what will be most certainly the case; no reprieve nor pardon will be granted:

thy blood shall be on thine own head;
fair warning being given, he could blame none but himself, should he be guilty and suffer.

1 Re 2:37 In-Context

35 E in vece sua il re fece capo dell’esercito Benaia, figliuolo di Jehoiada, e mise il sacerdote Tsadok al posto di Abiathar.
36 Poi il re mandò a chiamare Scimei e gli disse: "Costruisciti una casa in Gerusalemme, prendivi dimora, e non ne uscire per andare qua o là;
37 poiché il giorno che ne uscirai e passerai il torrente Kidron, sappi per certo che morrai; il tuo sangue ricadrà sul tuo capo".
38 Scimei rispose al re: "Sta bene; il tuo servo farà come il re mio signore ha detto". E Scimei dimorò lungo tempo a Gerusalemme.
39 Di lì a tre anni avvenne che due servi di Scimei fuggirono presso Akis, figliuolo di Maaca, re di Gath. La cosa fu riferita a Scimei, e gli fu detto: "Ecco i tuoi servi sono a Gath".
