1 Kings 2:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ “Furthermore, you’re aware of what Zeruiah’s son Joab did to me and to those two commanders of the armies of Israel, Ner’s son Abner and Jether’s son Amasa, whom he killed, and how he shed the blood of wartime during times of peace, staining the very belt he wears around his waist and the sandals he wears on his feet. ⁶ So act consistently with your wisdom, and don’t let him die as a peaceful old man.^{[a] 7} Be gracious to the descendants of Barzillai the Gileadite, and provide for them in your household,^[b] because they helped me when I had to run from your brother Absalom.
