1 Kings 2:7-9
Living Bible
7 But be kind to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite. Make them permanent guests of the king, for they took care of me when I fled from your brother Absalom. 8 And do you remember Shimei, the son of Gera the Benjaminite from Bahurim? He cursed me with a terrible curse as I was going to Mahanaim; but when he came down to meet me at the Jordan River, I promised I wouldn’t kill him. 9 But that promise doesn’t bind you! You are a wise man, and you will know how to arrange a bloody death for him.”
