SCRIPTURE
"And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David." — 2 Samuel 19:16 (ASV)
Aware that Judah was unanimous in recalling the king, Shimei lost no time trying to make his peace with David, bringing a large Benjamite force with him.
