Bahurim

From BibleEncyclopedia.Net

Young men, a place east of Jerusalem (2Sa_3:16; 2Sa_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 (2Sa_16:5); and here Jonathan and Ahimaaz hid themselves (2Sa_17:18).

With the exception of Shimei, Azmaveth, one of David's heroes, is the only other native of the place who is mentioned (2Sa_23:31; 1Ch_11:33).

ba-hū´rim (בּחרים, baḥurīm; Βαουρείμ, Baoureím usually, but there are variants):

A place in the territory of Benjamin which lay on an old road from Jerusalem to Jericho followed by David in his flight from Absalom (2 Sam 15:32 through 16:5ff). It ran over the Mount of Olives and down the slopes to the East. The Talmud identifies it with Alemath, the modern Almīt, about a mile beyond ‛Anātā, going from Jerusalem. If this identification is correct, Wādy Fārah may be the brook of water (2Sa_17:20). Here Paltiel was parted from his wife Miehal by Abner (2Sa_3:16). It was the home of Shimei, who ran along a ridge of the hill cursing and throwing stones at the fugitive king (2Sa_16:5; 1Ki_2:8). In Bahurim Jonathan and Ahimaaz, the messengers of David, were concealed in a well by a loyal woman (2Sa_17:18). Azmaveth, one of David's heroes, was a native of Bahurim. In 2Sa_23:31 we should read, as in 1Ch_11:33, Barahumite.
