1 Kings 2:6-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁶ Act according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray head descend to Sheol in peace.

⁷ “Show loyalty to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite and let them be among those who eat at your table^(A) because they supported me when I fled from your brother Absalom.^(B)

⁸ “Keep an eye on Shimei son of Gera, the Benjaminite from Bahurim who is with you. He uttered malicious curses against me the day I went to Mahanaim.^(C) But he came down to meet me at the Jordan River, and I swore to him by the Lord: ‘I will never kill you with the sword.’^(D)
