Shimei goes to Gath and brings back his slaves, Benaiah falls on him, and the kingdom is established in the hand of Solomon

가드로 가서 종을 데려온 시므이를 브나야가 쳐서 죽이고 나라가 솔로몬의 손에 견고하여짐

1 Kings 2:39–46: at the end of three years, two of Shimei’s slaves run away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. They tell Shimei, saying, “Behold, your slaves are in Gath.” Shimei arises, saddles his donkey, and goes to Gath to Achish to seek his slaves; and Shimei goes and brings his slaves from Gath. Solomon is told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had come again. The king sends and calls for Shimei, and says to him, “Didn’t I adjure you by the LORD and warn you, saying, ‘Know for certain that on the day you go out and walk anywhere else, you shall surely die’? You said to me, ‘The saying that I have heard is good.’ Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD and the commandment that I have instructed you with?” The king says moreover to Shimei, “You know in your heart all the wickedness that you did to David my father. Therefore the LORD will return your wickedness on your own head. But King Solomon will be blessed, and David’s throne will be established before the LORD forever.” So the king commands Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he goes out, and falls on him, so that he dies. The text says, “The kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.” The Korean Revised Version reads 가드 왕 마아가의 아들 아기스, where 가드 왕 (king of Gath) stands before Maacah; has 혹이, someone, tell Shimei at 2:39 and Solomon at 2:41; names Shimei once at 2:40; reads 내 부친에게 at 2:44, naming no one; and at 2:46 names no one who commands and names Shimei as the one struck (시므이를 쳐서).

Current wording: 1 Kings 2:39–46: at the end of three years, two of Shimei’s slaves run away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. They tell Shimei, saying, “Behold, your slaves are in Gath.” Shimei arises, saddles his donkey, and goes to Gath to Achish to seek his slaves; and Shimei goes and brings his slaves from Gath. Solomon is told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had come again. The king sends and calls for Shimei, and says to him, “Didn’t I adjure you by the LORD and warn you, saying, ‘Know for certain that on the day you go out and walk anywhere else, you shall surely die’? You said to me, ‘The saying that I have heard is good.’ Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD and the commandment that I have instructed you with?” The king says moreover to Shimei, “You know in your heart all the wickedness that you did to David my father. Therefore the LORD will return your wickedness on your own head. But King Solomon will be blessed, and David’s throne will be established before the LORD forever.” So the king commands Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he goes out, and falls on him, so that he dies.
