18 and crossed at the ford to carry over the king’s household and to do what was good in his sight. When Shimei (renowned) son of Gera (a grain) crossed the Jordan (flowing down), he fell down before the king

19 and said, “My lord, do not hold me guilty, and do not remember your servant’s wrongdoing on the day my lord the king left Jerusalem (city of peace). May the king not take it to heart.

20 For your servant knows that I have sinned, so here I am today as the first of all the house of Joseph (YHWH has added) to come down to meet my lord the king.”
