34. So Benaiah son of Jehoiada killed Joab. And he was buried near his home in the desert.
35. Solomon then made Benaiah son of Jehoiada commander of the army in Joab’s place. Solomon also made Zadok the new high priest in Abiathar’s place.
36. Next the king sent for Shimei. The king said to him, “Build a house for yourself here in Jerusalem. Live in the house, and don’t leave the city.
37. If you leave and go past Kidron Valley, someone will kill you. And it will be your own fault.”
38. So Shimei answered the king, “What you have said is good. I will obey you, my master and king.” So Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time.
