And look, Shimei the son of Gera the son of the Benjaminite from Bahurim is with you. Now he {cursed me severely} when I went to Mahanaim, but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, so I swore to him by Yahweh, 'I surely will not kill you with the sword.'

The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan with the casting mold [set in] the ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

"Go from this place and turn to the east; you must hide yourself in the Wadi Kerith {which faces the Jordan}.

So he went and did according to the word of Yahweh. He went and stayed in the Wadi Kerith {which faces the Jordan}.
