Then the king sent for Shimei and said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, but do not go anywhere else.
But the king said, “He must go to his own house; he must not see my face.” So Absalom went to his own house and did not see the face of the king.
Absalom lived two years in Jerusalem without seeing the king’s face.
Then King Solomon sent men, and they brought him down from the altar. And Adonijah came and bowed down to King Solomon, and Solomon said, “Go to your home.”
A wise king winnows out the wicked; he drives the threshing wheel over them.
When a king sits on his throne to judge, he winnows out all evil with his eyes.
