And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite from Bahurim, made haste and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David — Shimei, the man who cursed David during the flight, now hurries to meet him on his return. His change of position is calculated: he recognizes that David has won and seeks to be on the winning side. His earlier cursing is now replaced by an attempt at reconciliation.
