Shimei the son of Gera falls down before the king, and the king swears to him

게라의 아들 시므이가 왕의 앞에 엎드리고 다윗이 그에게 맹세함

2 Samuel 19:16–23: Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, hurries and comes down with the men of Judah to meet King David. There are a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of Saul’s house, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they go through the Jordan in the presence of the king. A ferry boat goes to bring over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. Shimei the son of Gera falls down before the king when he had come over the Jordan. He says to the king, “Don’t let my lord impute iniquity to me, or remember that which your servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart. For your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore behold, I have come today as the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.” But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answers, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’s anointed?” David says, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be adversaries to me today? Shall any man be put to death today in Israel? For don’t I know that I am king over Israel today?” The king says to Shimei, “You will not die.” The king swears to him. Where WEB reads “when he had come over the Jordan” (19:18), the Korean Revised Version reads 왕이 요단을 건너려 할 때에, when the king was about to cross the Jordan.
