Doª° therefore according to thy wisdom,ª and let not¹ his hoar headª go downª° to the graveª in peace.ª" {1Kg 2:5-6} + "Then tidingsª cameª° to¹ Joab:ª for¹ Joabª had turnedª° afterª Adonijah,ª though he turnedª° not¹ afterª Absalom.ª And Joabª fledª° unto¹ the tabernacleª of the LORD,ª and caught holdª° on the hornsª of the altar.ª ... So Benaiahª the sonª of Jehoiadaª went up,ª° and fellª° upon him, and slewª° him: and he was buriedª° in his own houseª in the wilderness.ª" {1Kg 2:28-34} |
