1 Kings 2:37
37 For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
1 Kin. 2:37. This may help us to understand God's threatening to Adam, when He said, "In the day," etc. When Solomon thus threatened Shimei, we cannot naturally understand any more by it than that death should be certain to him from that day: he should stand guilty of death, obliged to die by a fixed unalterable establishment. We cannot suppose that Solomon concluded that, if he did go over the brook Kedron, he should hear of it so as to execute this threatening on that very day. As it proved that he did not, it seems to have been some time after before the threatening was executed. See note on Genesis 2:17.
