1 Kings 2:6-9

6DoH6213 therefore according to thy wisdomH2451, and let not his gray headH7872 go downH3381 to the graveH7585 in peaceH7965.

7But showH6213 kindnessH2617 to the sonsH1121 of BarzillaiH1271 the GileaditeH1569, and let them be of those that eatH398 at thy tableH7979: for so they cameH7126 to me when I fledH1272 becauseH6440 of AbsalomH53 thy brotherH251.

8And, behold, thou hast with thee ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617, a BenjamiteH1145 of BahurimH980, who cursedH7043 me with a grievousH4834 curseH7045 in the dayH3117 when I wentH3212 to MahanaimH4266: but he came downH3381 to meetH7125 me at JordanH3383, and I sworeH7650 to him by the LORDH3068, sayingH559, I will not put thee to deathH4191 with the swordH2719.1

9Now therefore hold him not guiltlessH5352: for thou art a wiseH2450 manH376, and knowestH3045 what thou oughtest to doH6213 to him; but his gray headH7872 do thou bring downH3381 to the graveH7585 with bloodH1818.
