Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

arose: Proverbs 15:27, Luke 12:15, 1 Timothy 6:10

Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 27:2 - Achish 2 Kings 12:17 - against Gath

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants,.... And demand them; through the passion he was in with his servants, and his hurry to get them home, and the covetous disposition which prevailed on him, he might forget, or be tempted to neglect, the prohibition he was under not to go out of Jerusalem; or he might think Solomon had forgot it; or that he could come and go secretly without his knowledge; or if he should know of it, he might hope he would never punish him with death for so small a fault; however, so it was ordered by the providence of God leaving him to his own lust, and the temptations of Satan, that he might suffer just punishment for cursing David:

and Shimei went and brought his servants from Gath; for the king being at peace with Israel, and a tributary to them also, did not choose to detain them, but delivered them up lest it should be resented, and bring him into trouble.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 2:40. And Shimei - went to Gath — It is astonishing that with his eyes wide open he would thus run into the jaws of death.
