1 Kings 2:4-6

1 Kings 2:4-6

[4] That the LORD  may continue  his word  which he spake  concerning me, saying,  If thy children  take heed  to their way,  before  me in truth  with all their heart  and with all their soul,  there shall not fail  thee (said  he) a man  on the throne  of Israel.  [5] Moreover thou knowest  also what Joab  the son  of Zeruiah  did  to the two  captains  of the hosts  of Israel,  unto Abner  the son  of Ner,  and unto Amasa  the son  of Jether,  whom he slew,  and shed  the blood  of war  in peace,  and put  the blood  of war  upon his girdle  that was about his loins,  and in his shoes  that were on his feet.  [6] Do  therefore according to thy wisdom,  and let not his hoar head  go down  to the grave  in peace.
