Read 1 Kings 2.28-46. In verses 28-35: Joab is executed, ostensibly at David's command, despite his plea for sanctuary at the horns of the altar (v. 28; see 1.50). In verses 36-46a: Solomon confined Shimei to Jerusalem, perhaps to prevent him from causing any trouble in his home tribe of Benjamin (also Saul's tribe). When he violated his confinement, Solomon has him executed. In 46b: The kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon because all his rivals were removed. Comments or Questions..
