Editing Bahurim (section)

==Biblical references==
Bahurim is the place where [[Palti, son of Laish]] turned back as he cried after his wife, [[Michal]], when she was brought back to her first husband, [[King David]].

It is also mentioned during David's flight from [[Absalom]]:

:When King David came to Bahurim, there came out a man of the family of the house of [[Saul the King|Saul]] whose name was [[Shimei ben Gera|Shimei]], the son of [[Gera]]; and as he came he cursed continually. And he threw stones at David, and at all the servants of King David; and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. And Shimei said as he cursed, "Begone, begone, you man of blood, you worthless fellow! The Lord has avenged upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and The Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of your son [[Absalom]]. See, your ruin is on you; for you are a man of blood." -- ({{bibleverse|2 Samuel|16:5-8|RSV}} RSV)

Here also the [[Cohanim]] Jonathan and [[Ahimaaz]] hid themselves ({{bibleverse|2 Samuel|17:18|KJV}}).

[[Azmaveth]], one of David's heroes, is also mentioned as a native of Bahurim ({{bibleverse|2 Samuel|23:31|KJV}}; {{bibleverse|1 Chronicles|11:33|KJV}}).
