Contextual Overview
35 The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada over the army in Joab's place. And the king put Zadok the religious leader in the place of Abiathar. 36 Then the king sent for Shimei and said to him, "Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem and live there. Do not leave there. 37 For on the day you go out and cross the river Kidron, you will know for sure that you will die. Your blood will be on your own head." 38 Shimei said to the king, "What you say is good. Your servant will do as my lord the king has said." So Shimei lived in Jerusalem many days. 39 But at the end of three years, two of Shimei's servants ran away to Achish the son of Maacah, king of Gath. Shimei was told, "See, your servants are in Gath." 40 Then Shimei got up and made his donkey ready to travel. And he went to Achish in Gath to look for his servants. Shimei went and brought his servants from Gath. 41 Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned. 42 So the king sent for Shimei and said to him, "Did I not make you promise by the Lord and tell you of danger, saying, ‘You will know for sure that on the day you leave and go anywhere, you will die'? And you said to me, ‘What you have said is good.' 43 Then why have you not kept the promise of the Lord? Why have you not done what I told you?" 44 And the king said to Shimei, "You know in your heart all the bad things you did to my father David. So the Lord will return your sin upon your own head.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it was told Solomon,.... By the spies he set to watch and observe his motions, or by some others who had seen him go out and return, and knew that it was contrary to the king's orders:
that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again; which was thirty four miles from Jerusalem h; whereas his utmost bounds, whither he might go, was the brook Kidron, about half a mile from it.
