1 Kings 2:7-9
English Standard Version
7 But deal loyally with the sons of (A)Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be (B)among those who eat at your table, (C)for with such loyalty[a] they met me when I fled from Absalom your brother. 8 And there is also with you (D)Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite from Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse on the day (E)when I went to Mahanaim. (F)But when he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’ 9 Now therefore do not hold him guiltless, (G)for you are a wise man. You will know what you ought to do to him, and you shall (H)bring his gray head down with blood to Sheol.”
