and to return: return blood their in/on/with head Joab and in/on/with head seed: children his to/for forever: enduring and to/for David and to/for seed: children his and to/for house: household his and to/for throne his to be peace till forever: enduring from from with LORD

and to send: depart [the] king and to call: call to to/for Shimei and to say to(wards) him not to swear you in/on/with LORD and to testify in/on/with you to/for to say in/on/with day to come out: come you and to go: went where? and where? to know to know for to die to die and to say to(wards) me pleasant [the] word: speaking to hear: obey
