2 Samuel 19:14-16
New English Translation

14 He[a] won over the hearts of all the men of Judah as though they were one man. Then they sent word to the king saying, “Return, you and all your servants as well.” 15 So the king returned and came to the Jordan River.[b]

Now the people of Judah[c] had come to Gilgal to meet the king and to help him[d] cross the Jordan. 16 Shimei son of Gera the Benjaminite from Bahurim came down quickly with the men of Judah to meet King David.
