2 Samuel 17:17-22
17And JonathanH3083 and AhimaazH290 stayed by En-rogelH5883; and the maid wentH1980 and toldH5046 them; and they wentH1980 and toldH5046 kingH4428 DavidH1732, for they might not be seenH7200 to comeH935 into the cityH5892.
18But a ladH5288 sawH7200 them, and toldH5046 AbsalomH53. Then they wentH935 both of them away quicklyH4120, and cameH935 to the houseH1004 of a manH376 at BahurimH980, who had a wellH875 in his courtH2691; and they wentH935 downH3381 there.
19And the womanH802 tookH3947 and spreadH6566 the coveringH4539 over the well's mouth, and spreadH6566 ground corn on it; and the thingH1697 was not knownH3045.
20And Absalom's servantsH5650 cameH935 to the womanH802 to the houseH1004, and saidH559, WhereH346 are AhimaazH290 and JonathanH3083? And the womanH802 saidH559 to them, They have goneH935 over the brook of waterH4325. And they soughtH1245 and could not findH4672 [them], and returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.
21And it came to passH5674 after they had departed, that they came up out of the wellH875, and wentH5927 and toldH5046 kingH4428 DavidH1732; and they saidH559 to DavidH1732, AriseH6965 and passH5674 quicklyH4120 over the waterH4325; for thusH3602 has AhithophelH302 counselled against you.
22Then DavidH1732 aroseH6965, and all the peopleH5971 that were with him, and they passedH5674 over the JordanH3383; by the morningH1242 lightH216 there was not oneH259 of them missing that had not gone over the JordanH3383.
