1 Kings 2:4-6

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.
