19and said, “My lord, do not hold me guilty, and do not remember your servant’s wrongdoing on the day my lord the king left Jerusalem. May the king not take it to heart. 20For your servant knows that I have sinned, so here I am today as the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king.”Cross References

2 Samuel 19:18 Summary
In this verse, Shimei son of Gera crosses the Jordan to meet King David and make amends for his past wrongdoing. He falls down before the king and acknowledges his sins, which shows that he is truly sorry and wants to make things right. This verse teaches us about the importance of seeking forgiveness and making amends, just like Shimei did, and how we can apply this principle in our own lives (as seen in Matthew 5:23-24). By following Shimei's example, we can demonstrate humility and a willingness to acknowledge our sins, and seek forgiveness and restoration in our relationships with others and with God.

Gill's Exposition on 2 Samuel 19:18
And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the king's household,.... His wives and children, who could not so well ford the river on foot: some will have this to be a bridge of boats, a pontoon;
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Samuel 19:18
And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:18
A ferry boat, made by the men of Judah for the king’ s proper use; besides which there were doubtless many boats ready for the use of others. As he was come over Jordan, or rather, as he was passing, or about to pass, over Jordan; but this was beyond Jordan; for as he went over Jordan to the king, , so doubtless he fell down before him at his first coming into his presence there.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:18
2 Samuel 19:18 And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the king’ s household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was come over Jordan;Ver. 18. And there went over a ferry boat.] Ponto. This boat the tribe of Judah had sent before, and Shimei with his company followed it, to make his peace with the king.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:18
(18) As he was come over.—Rather, as he was coming over, as he was about to cross. Shimei and Ziba met the king on the east of Jordan, and his crossing is not spoken of until 2 Samuel 19:31-40.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:18
Verse 18. There went over a ferry-boat] This is the first mention of any thing of the kind. Some think a bridge or raft is what is here intended.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Samuel 19:18
18. And there went over a ferry-boat] And the ferry-boat was passing to and fro, placed at the service of the king by the men of Judah. as he was come over Jordan] This probably means as David was crossing over the Jordan, i.e. during the general proceedings of the transit, not necessarily during the actual passage. Shimei seems to have crossed along with Ziba to meet the king on the eastern bank. David’s crossing is not mentioned till 2 Samuel 19:39.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Samuel 19:18
As he was come over Jordan - Render, “when he was crossing,” i. e., just embarking for the purpose of crossing. The scene still lies on the east bank. Shimei left nothing undone to soften, if possible, David’s resentment.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:18
18. A ferryboat — The original word (ςαψδ) means some instrument used for conveying persons across the river, but the manner of its construction and the method of using it are uncertain.
