KJV - 1 Kings 2:42

And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good.

The king summoned Shimei and asked him if he didn't swear by God to know that on the day he left and went anywhere, he would definitely die. Shimei replied that the message was good.
