2 Samuel 19:21-23 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

21. But Abishai the son of Zeruiah said, "Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the Lord's anointed?"

22. David then said, "What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah, that you should this day be an adversary to me? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? For do I not know that I am king over Israel today?"

23. The king said to Shimei, "You shall not die." Thus the king swore to him.
