1Ki 2:36 | MHM | STEP | v. 36–37 : Solomon sent for Shimei from Bahurim and told him he must live in Jerusalem. He was warned never to leave the city or cross the brook Kidron, or he would die (1 Kings 2:36–37 ). This was a fair test. If Shimei stayed in Jerusalem, he would live. Solomon wanted to protect his kingdom by keeping Shimei under watch in the capital.
