La Riveduta Bibbia

1 Re 2:8

Ed ecco, tu hai vicino a te Scimei, figliuolo di Ghera, il Beniaminita, di Bahurim, il quale proferì contro di me una maledizione atroce il giorno che andavo a Mahanaim. Ma egli scese ad incontrarmi verso il Giordano, e io gli giurai per l’Eterno che non lo farei morire di spada.

Ecco, oltre a ciò, appo te è Simi, figliuolo di Ghera, Beniaminita, da Bahurim, il qual mi maledisse d’una maledizione atroce nel giorno che io andava in Mahanaim. Ma egli mi scese incontro verso il Giordano, ed io gli giurai per lo Signore, che io non lo farei morire con la spada.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And behold [thou hast] with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim,.... Of whom, and of his native place,

:-; he was now at Jerusalem, and so with Solomon, or near at hand; and was on his side, and of his party; see 1 Kings 1:8; but not to be trusted, or looked upon as a real friend:

which cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went to Mahanaim; a place on the other side Jordan, of which place, and the curses this man cursed David, with, see 2 Samuel 16:7;

but he came down to me at Jordan; after the defeat of Absalom, and when David was returning, and humbled himself to him, and begged his pardon:

and I sware unto him by the Lord, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword; but this oath was not binding upon his successor, and especially should he commit a new crime.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 2:8. Thou hast with thee Shimei — See on 2 Samuel 16:5, c., and the notes on 2 Samuel 19:18-23.
