1 Kings 2:5-11

5“Now you alsoH1571 knowH3045 whatH834 JoabH3097 the 1sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 didH6213 to me, whatH834 he didH6213 to the twoH8147 commandersH8269 of the armiesH6635 of IsraelH3478, to 2AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, and to 3AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, whom he killedH2026; he also 4shedH7760 the bloodH1818 of warH4421 in peaceH7965. And he putH5414 the bloodH1818 of warH4421 on his beltH2290 5about his waistH4975, and on his sandalsH5275 6on his feetH7272. 67So actH6213 according to your wisdomH2451, and do not let his grayH7872 hairH7872 goH3381 downH3381 to 8SheolH7585 in peaceH7965. 7But 9showH6213 kindnessH2617 to the sonsH1121 of BarzillaiH1271 the GileaditeH1569, and 10let them be among those who eatH398 at your tableH7979; 11for they 12assistedH7126 me when I fledH1272 from AbsalomH53 your brotherH251. 8BeholdH2009, 13there is with you ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617 the BenjamiteH1145, of BahurimH980; now it was he who cursedH7043 me with a 14violentH4834 curseH7045 on the dayH3117 I wentH1980 to MahanaimH4266. But when 15he cameH3381 downH3381H7122 to me at the JordanH3383, I sworeH7650 to him by the LordH3068, sayingH559, ‘I will not putH4191 you to deathH4191 with the swordH2719.’ 9NowH6258 therefore, do not let him goH5352 unpunishedH5352, 16for you are a wiseH2450 manH376; and you will knowH3045 whatH834 you ought to doH6213 to him, and you will bringH3381 his grayH7872 hairH7872 downH3381 to 17SheolH7585 with bloodH1818.”

10Then 18DavidH1732 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1 and was buriedH6912 in 19the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. 1120The daysH3117 that DavidH1732 reignedH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 were fortyH705 yearsH8141: 21sevenH7651 yearsH8141 he reignedH4427 in HebronH2275 and thirty-threeH7970H7969 yearsH8141 he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389.
