1 Kings 2:5-9

5And thou knowest alsoH1571 what JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 did to me, what he did to the twoH8147 captains of the hostsH6635 of IsraelH3478, to AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, and to 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 upon his sandalsH5275 that were on his feetH7272.

6And thou shalt do according to thy wisdomH2451, and not let his hoar head goH3381 down to SheolH7585 in peaceH7965.

7But shew kindness to the sonsH1121 of BarzillaiH1271 the GileaditeH1569, and let them beH1961 of those that eatH398 at thy tableH7979; for so they came up to me when I fledH1272 because of AbsalomH53 thy brotherH251.

8And behold, there is with thee ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617, the Benjaminite of BahurimH980, who cursedH7043 me with a grievous curseH7045 in the dayH3117 that I wentH3381 to MahanaimH4266; but he cameH3381 downH3381 to meet me at the JordanH3383, and I sworeH7650 to him by Jehovah sayingH559, I will not putH4191 thee to deathH4191 with the swordH2719.

9And nowH6258 hold him not guiltless; for thou art a wiseH2450 manH376, and thou shalt knowH3045 what thou oughtest to do to him; but bringH3381 his hoar head downH3381 to SheolH7585 with bloodH1818.
