And behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day that I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore 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 Zaretan.

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

And he went and did according to the word of Jehovah; he went and abode by the torrent Cherith, which is before the Jordan.
