And, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I sware to him by Jehovah, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.

So he went and did according unto the word of Jehovah; for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
