2 Samuel 19:23

Shimei Pardoned

22And David replied, “Sons of Zeruiah, what have I to do with you, that you should be my adversaries today? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? Am I not indeed aware that today I am king over Israel?”23So the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And the king swore an oath to him.
