2 Samuel - 19:23 Meaning

“Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

19:16-23 Those who now slight and abuse the Son of David, would be glad to make their peace when he shall come in his glory; but it will be too late. Shimei lost no time. His abuse had been personal, and with the usual right feeling of good men, David could more easily forgive it.
