From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Bahurim
     young men, a place east of Jerusalem (2 Sam. 3:16; 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 (16:5); and here Jonathan and


     Ahimaaz hid themselves (17:18).
     
       With the exception of Shimei, Azmaveth, one of David's heroes,
     is the only other native of the place who is mentioned (2 Sam.
     23:31; 1 Chr. 11:33).
