     * Shimei.

     * Build.
       No doubt Solomon suspected that Shimei's influence would be
       dangerous upon his own estate and among his numerous
       dependents in different parts of the land; and therefore he
       proposed to him, as the condition of his indemnity for former
       crimes, that he should live in Jerusalem under his eye, and by
       no means remove thence.  These terms Shimei readily agreed to,
       and solemnly swore to observe them; and for three years he
       lived unmolested and in affluence.  But growing secure, in
       contempt of Solomon's authority and of the oath of God, upon
       an unnecessary business he took a journey, which according to
       his own engagement forfeited his life.  Thus the Lord left him
       to be infatuated, that due punishment might be inflicted upon
       him; in order that every ringleader of opposition to Solomon's
       kingdom might be crushed, and others be intimidated by their
       examples.  Solomon's throne by the death of this man was
       established in peace, and became a type of the Redeemer's
       kingdom of peace and righteousness.--SCOTT.
