1 Kings 2:7-9
Tree of Life Version
7 But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table—for they befriended me when I fled from your brother Absalom. 8 Also behold, you have with you Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. But when he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by Adonai saying: ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’ 9 Now don’t let him go unpunished. For you are a wise man, and you will know how to deal with him, and bring his gray hair down to Sheol with blood.”

1 Kings 2:7-9
New International Version
7 “But show kindness(A) to the sons of Barzillai(B) of Gilead and let them be among those who eat at your table.(C) They stood by me when I fled from your brother Absalom.
8 “And remember, you have with you Shimei(D) son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, who called down bitter curses on me the day I went to Mahanaim.(E) When he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore(F) 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;(G) you will know what to do to him. Bring his gray head down to the grave in blood.”
