And behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjaminite 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 the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

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

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

So he went and did according to the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
