1 Kings 2:6-9

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.
