2 Samuel 19:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 And there went over a boat to carry over the king’s household, and to do him pleasure. Then Shimei the son of Gera fell before the king, when he was come over Jordan,
19 And said unto the king, Let not my lord impute (A)wickedness unto me, nor remember the thing that thy servant did [a]wickedly when my lord the King departed out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.
20 For thy servant doth know, that I have done amiss: therefore behold, I am the first this day of all the house of [b]Joseph, that am come to go down to meet my lord the king.
