8And behold, with you is Shimei son of Gera, the Benjaminite from Bahurim, and he cursed me with a grievous curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. But he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Yahweh, saying, ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’

9But now, do not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man, and you will know what you should do to him; and you shall bring his gray head down to Sheol with blood.
