'Beside' in the Bible

Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it to the king as well as to all the officials who stood beside the king.

And they went and stayed in Geruth Chimham, which is beside Bethlehem, in order to proceed into Egypt

Let not the swift man flee,Nor the mighty man escape;In the north beside the river EuphratesThey have stumbled and fallen.
