2 Samuel 19:17-24

17And there were a thousandH505 menH376 of BenjaminH1144 with him, and 1ZibaH6717 the servantH5288 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, and his fifteenH2568 H6240 sonsH1121 and his twentyH6242 servantsH5650 with him; and they rushedH6743 to the JordanH3383 beforeH6440 the kingH4428. 18Then they crossedH5674 the shallowH5679 placesH5679 repeatedly to bringH5674 overH5674 the king’sH4428 householdH1004, and to doH6213 whatH2896 wasH2896 goodH2896 in his sightH5869. And ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617 fellH5307 downH5307 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 as he was about to crossH5674 the JordanH3383. 19And he saidH559 to the kingH4428, “2May my lordH113 not considerH2803 me guiltyH5771, norH408 callH2142 toH2142 mindH2142 whatH834 your servantH5650 didH5753 wrongH5753 on the dayH3117 whenH834 my lordH113 the kingH4428 wentH3318 outH3318 from JerusalemH3389, so that the kingH4428 would 3takeH7760 it to heartH3820. 20For your servantH5650 knowsH3045 that I have sinnedH2398; so beholdH2009, I have comeH935 todayH3117, 4the firstH7223 of allH3605 the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 to goH3381 downH3381 to meetH7122 my lordH113 the kingH4428.” 21But AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 respondedH6030 H559, “5Should ShimeiH8096 not be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191 for thisH2088, 6the factH3588 that he cursedH7043 the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899?” 22DavidH1732 then saidH559, “7WhatH4100 8is there between you and me, you sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, that you should be an adversaryH7854 to me todayH3117? 9Should anyoneH376 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191 in IsraelH3478 todayH3117? For do I not knowH3045 that I am kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478 todayH3117?” 23So the kingH4428 saidH559 to ShimeiH8096, “10You shall not dieH4191.” The kingH4428 also sworeH7650 to him.

24Then 11MephiboshethH4648 the 12grandsonH1121 of SaulH7586 cameH3381 downH3381 to meetH7122 the kingH4428; but 13he had neitherH3808 14tendedH6213 toH6213 his feetH7272, norH3808 15trimmedH6213 his mustacheH8222, norH3808 16washedH3526 his clothesH899 sinceH4480 the dayH3117 the kingH4428 departedH1980 untilH5704 the dayH3117 he cameH935 home in peaceH7965.
