← 1 Kings 2:6	1 Kings 2:7 (KJV)	1 Kings 2:8 →
Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace.	But shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.	And, behold, [thou hast] with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
