Il y avait alors un vaillant guerrier, Jephté le Galaadite; c’était le fils d’une femme prostituée, et Ghilad était son père.
Zohar
Shimei “cast dust” at David (II Sam. 16, 16), and Solomon referred to water when he prohibited him to cross the brook Kidron: dust and water were the means of testing the woman who was suspected of adultery (Num. 5, 11-31), and these two symbols were in the mind of Solomon when he thought of Shimei, who maligned his father. In his charge to Solomon concerning this Shimei, David said: “And behold thou hast with thee Shimei….which cursed me with a strong curse… and I sware to him by the Lord saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.”
