1 Kings 2:7-9
Christian Standard Bible
7 “Show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite and let them be among those who eat at your table(A) because they supported me when I fled from your brother Absalom.(B)
8 “Keep an eye on Shimei son of Gera, the Benjaminite from Bahurim who is with you. He uttered malicious curses against me the day I went to Mahanaim.(C) But he came down to meet me at the Jordan River, and I swore to him by the Lord, ‘I will never kill you with the sword.’(D) 9 So don’t let him go unpunished, for you are a wise man. You know how to deal with him to bring his gray head down to Sheol with blood.”
