2 Samuel 19:18-20

There went over a ferry-boat Prepared, it is likely, by the men of Judah. Josephus says, it was a bridge, composed, perhaps, of many boats joined together. Shimei fell down before the king That he might confess his guilt and perverseness, and implore forgiveness. Neither do thou remember that which thy servant did So as to resent it deeply, and take revenge. Behold, I am come the first of all the house of Joseph Shimei knew that a Benjamite, of the house of Saul, came but ill recommended to David under that character; and, therefore, he would not denominate himself from Benjamin, but from Joseph, his beloved brother.
