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.

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.
