2 Samuel 19:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ They all worked hard ferrying the king’s household and troops across, and helped them in every way they could.

As the king was crossing, Shimei fell down before him, ¹⁹ and pleaded, “My lord the king, please forgive me and forget the terrible thing I did when you left Jerusalem; ²⁰ for I know very well how much I sinned. That is why I have come here today, the very first person in all the tribe of Joseph to greet you.”
