7 “But show kindness to the sons of aBarzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who beat at your table, for so cthey came to me when I fled from Absalom your brother.
8 “And see, you have with you aShimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite from Bahurim, who cursed me with a malicious curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim. But bhe came down to meet me at the Jordan, and cI swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’
9 Now therefore, ado not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man and know what you ought to do to him; but bbring his gray hair down to the grave with blood.”
