God’s Word Translation
2 Samuel 19:16-20
16Shimei, Gera’s son from the tribe of Benjamin and the town of Bahurim, hurried down with the people of Judah to meet King David.
17One thousand people from Benjamin were with him. And Ziba, the servant of Saul’s family, rushed to the Jordan River across from the king. Ziba brought his 15 sons and 20 servants.
18They crossed the river to bring over the king’s family and to do anything else the king wanted. Shimei, Gera’s son, bowed down in front of the king as he was going to cross the Jordan River.
19He pleaded with the king, “Don’t remember the crime I committed the day you left Jerusalem. Don’t hold it against me or even think about it, Your Majesty.
20I know I’ve sinned. Today I’ve come as the first of all the house of Joseph to meet you.”
