A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
for thou art a wise man--Solomon had given early indications of wisdom before his miraculous endowment with the heavenly gift (see Kg1 3:11), and his own sagacity would dictate the course that should be followed in any new offense that Shimei might commit.

11 And God [0430] said [0559] unto him, Because thou hast asked [07592] this thing [01697], and hast not asked [07592] for thyself long [07227] life [03117]; neither hast asked [07592] riches [06239] for thyself, nor hast asked [07592] the life [05315] of thine enemies [0341]; but hast asked [07592] for thyself understanding [0995] to discern [08085] judgment [04941];
36 And the king [04428] sent [07971] and called [07121] for Shimei [08096], and said [0559] unto him, Build [01129] thee an house [01004] in Jerusalem [03389], and dwell [03427] there, and go not forth [03318] thence any whither [0575].
37 For it shall be, that on the day [03117] thou goest out [03318], and passest over [05674] the brook [05158] Kidron [06939], thou shalt know [03045] for certain [03045] that thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191]: thy blood [01818] shall be upon thine own head [07218].
38 And Shimei [08096] said [0559] unto the king [04428], The saying [01697] is good [02896]: as my lord [0113] the king [04428] hath said [01696], so will thy servant [05650] do [06213]. And Shimei [08096] dwelt [03427] in Jerusalem [03389] many [07227] days [03117].
39 And it came to pass at the end [07093] of three [07969] years [08141], that two [08147] of the servants [05650] of Shimei [08096] ran away [01272] unto Achish [0397] son [01121] of Maachah [04601] king [04428] of Gath [01661]. And they told [05046] Shimei [08096], saying [0559], Behold, thy servants [05650] be in Gath [01661].
40 And Shimei [08096] arose [06965], and saddled [02280] his ass [02543], and went [03212] to Gath [01661] to Achish [0397] to seek [01245] his servants [05650]: and Shimei [08096] went [03212], and brought [0935] his servants [05650] from Gath [01661].
41 And it was told [05046] Solomon [08010] that Shimei [08096] had gone [01980] from Jerusalem [03389] to Gath [01661], and was come again [07725].
42 And the king [04428] sent [07971] and called [07121] for Shimei [08096], and said [0559] unto him, Did I not make thee to swear [07650] by the LORD [03068], and protested [05749] unto thee, saying [0559], Know [03045] for a certain [03045], on the day [03117] thou goest out [03318], and walkest [01980] abroad any whither [0575], that thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191]? and thou saidst [0559] unto me, The word [01697] that I have heard [08085] is good [02896].
43 Why then hast thou not kept [08104] the oath [07621] of the LORD [03068], and the commandment [04687] that I have charged [06680] thee with?
44 The king [04428] said [0559] moreover to Shimei [08096], Thou knowest [03045] all the wickedness [07451] which thine heart [03824] is privy to [03045], that thou didst [06213] to David [01732] my father [01]: therefore the LORD [03068] shall return [07725] thy wickedness [07451] upon thine own head [07218];
45 And king [04428] Solomon [08010] shall be blessed [01288], and the throne [03678] of David [01732] shall be established [03559] before [06440] the LORD [03068] for [05704] ever [05769].
46 So the king [04428] commanded [06680] Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077]; which went out [03318], and fell [06293] upon him, that he died [04191]. And the kingdom [04467] was established [03559] in the hand [03027] of Solomon [08010].
