And, behold, with you is Shimei the son of Gera, a 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 Jordan, and I swore to him by Jehovah, saying, I will not put you to death with the sword.

The king cast them in the plain of Jordan, in the thick soil of the ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

Go away from here and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, before Jordan.

So he went and did according to the Word of Jehovah. For he went and lived by the torrent Cherith, before Jordan.
