1 Kings 2:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ Deal with him according to your wisdom, but do not let his gray hair go down to the grave in peace.

⁷ Keep faith with^[a] the sons of Barzillai from Gilead, and let them eat at your table, because they did the same for me when I fled from your brother Absalom.

⁸ Watch out for Shimei son of Gera from Bahurim of the tribe of Benjamin, since he is still with you. He cursed me bitterly on the day I went to Mahanaim. But when he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the Lord, “I will not kill you with the sword.”
