42. Formal Translation Then the king sent for Shimei and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by the LORD {Yahweh, Covenant Witness} and warned you, saying, ‘On the day you go out and walk here or there, you shall surely know that you will die’?” And you replied, “The word is good; I have heard.” |
42. Dynamic Translation So the king sent for Shimei and said, “Did I not make you take an oath before the LORD {Yahweh, Oath Guardian} and give you a clear warning, saying, ‘When you leave and wander anywhere else, be certain you will die’?” At that point you answered, “That is a fair word. I will obey.” |
