1 Kings 2:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite and let them be among those who eat at your table; for with such kindness they met me when I fled because of Absalom your brother.^(A)

⁸ And you have with you Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim. But he came down to meet me at the Jordan [on my return], and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put you to death with the sword.

⁹ So do not hold him guiltless; for you are a wise man and know what you should do to him. His hoary head bring down to the grave with blood.
