Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, which [was] of Bahurim,.... Of whom see 2 Samuel 16:5;

hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David: he took the first opportunity to meet the king, and ask his pardon for his ill treatment of him when he fled from Jerusalem; for, hearing: that Absalom was slain, and the victory was on the side of David, who was returning in triumph, he thought it advisable as soon as possible to make his submission, and entreat forgiveness, lest he should fall a just sacrifice to his vengeance; and a better opportunity he could not well have than to go along with the men of Judah, who met the king first of all.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Shimei being aware that Judah was unanimous in recalling the king, lost no time in trying to make his peace with David, by bringing a large Benjamite force with him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 19:16. Shimei the son of Gera — It appears that Shimei was a powerful chieftain in the land; for he had here, in his retinue, no less than a thousand men.
