1 Kings 2:8-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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.(A) 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.’(B) 9 So don’t let him go unpunished, for you are a wise man. You know how to deal with him to bring his gray head down to Sheol with blood.”

New International Version
8 “And remember, you have with you Shimei(A) son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, who called down bitter curses on me the day I went to Mahanaim.(B) When he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore(C) to him by the Lord: ‘I will not put you to death by the sword.’ 9 But now, do not consider him innocent. You are a man of wisdom;(D) you will know what to do to him. Bring his gray head down to the grave in blood.”
