* hold him.
   Do not consider him as an innocent man; for, as thou art a
   wise man, and knowest how to treat such persons, treat him as
   he deserves; only, as I have sworn to him that I would not put
   him to death, "bring not his hoar head down to the grave with
   blood."  So Solomon understood David; for, after he had
   commanded Joab to be slain, in obedience to his father, he
   sent for Shimei, and knowing he ought to be well watched, he
   confined him to Jerusalem for the rest of his life:  and so it
   appears David should be understood; for the negative particle
   {lo,} in the former clause, "hold him not guiltless," should
   be repeated in the latter clause, though not expressed;
   instances of which frequently occur in the Hebrew Scriptures.
   (See Jud 5:30.  1Sa 2:3.  Ps 1:5; 9:18; 38:1; 75:5.  Pr 5:16;
   24:12, etc.)  This is the view taken of the subject by Dr.
   Kennicott, and it seems the best and most correct mode of
   interpreting the text.

  Ex 20:7  22:28  Job 9:28 
 * wise.
  3:12,28 
 * his.
  6  Ge 42:38  44:31 
 * with.
