1 Kings 2:1-9

1Now the daysH3117 of DavidH1732 drewH7126 nigh that he should dieH4191; and he charged SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, sayingH559, 2I am goingH1980 the wayH1870 of all the earthH776: beH1961 thou strongH2388 therefore, and showH2388 thyself a manH376; 3and keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of Jehovah thy GodH430, to walk in his waysH1870, to keepH8104 his statutesH2708, and his commandmentsH4687, and his ordinancesH4941, and his testimoniesH5715, according to that which is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself; 4that Jehovah may establishH6965 his wordH1697 which he spake concerning me, sayingH559, If thy children takeH8104 heedH8104 to their wayH1870, to walk before me in truthH571 with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315, there shall not fail thee (saidH559 he) a manH376 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478. 5Moreover thou knowest alsoH1571 what JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 did unto me, even what he did to the twoH8147 captains of the hostsH6635 of IsraelH3478, unto AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, and unto AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, whom he slewH2026, and shed the bloodH1818 of warH4421 in peaceH7965, and putH5414 the bloodH1818 of warH4421 upon his girdle that was about his loinsH4975, and in his shoes that were on his feetH7272. 6Do therefore according to thy wisdomH2451, and let not his hoar head goH3381 down to SheolH7585 in peaceH7965. 7But show kindness unto the sonsH1121 of BarzillaiH1271 the GileaditeH1569, and let them beH1961 of those that eatH398 at thy tableH7979; for so they came to me when I fledH1272 from AbsalomH53 thy brotherH251. 8And, behold, there is with thee ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617, the Benjamite, of BahurimH980, who cursedH7043 me with a grievous curseH7045 in the dayH3117 when I wentH3381 to MahanaimH4266; but he cameH3381 downH3381 to meet me at the JordanH3383, and I sware to him by Jehovah, sayingH559, I will not putH4191 thee to deathH4191 with the swordH2719. 9NowH6258 thereforeH6258 hold him not guiltless, for thou art a wiseH2450 manH376; and thou wilt knowH3045 what thou oughtest to do unto him, and thou shalt bringH3381 his hoar head downH3381 to SheolH7585 with bloodH1818.
