Bahurim: Young men, a place east of Jerusalem
(2 Samuel 3:16; 19:16) on the road to
the Jordan valley. Here Shimei resided, who poured forth vile abuse
against David, and flung dust and stones at him and his party when
they were making their way down the eastern slopes of Olivet toward
Jordan
(2 Samuel 16:5) and here Jonathan and Ahimaaz hid themselves
(2 Samuel 17:18) With the exception of Shimei, Azmaveth, one of David's
heroes, is the only other native of the place who is mentioned
(2 Samuel 23:31; 1 Chronicles 11:33)
