2 Samuel 17:17-22
171Now JonathanH3083 and AhimaazH290 were stayingH5975 at 2En-rogelH5883, and a femaleH8198 servantH8198 would goH1980 and informH5046 them, and they would goH1980 and informH5046 KingH4428 DavidH1732, for they couldH3201 not allow themselves to be seenH7200 enteringH935 the cityH5892. 18But a boyH5288 did seeH7200 them, and he toldH5046 AbsalomH53; so the twoH8147 of them leftH1980 quicklyH4120 and cameH935 to the houseH1004 of a manH376 3in BahurimH980, who had a wellH875 in his courtyardH2691, and they wentH3381 downH3381 4into it. 19And 5the womanH802 6tookH3947 a coverH4539 and spreadH6566 it overH5921 the well’sH875 mouthH6440 and scatteredH7849 barleyH7383 mealH7383 on it, so that nothingH3808H1697 was knownH3045. 20Then Absalom’sH53 servantsH5650 cameH935 to the womanH802 at the houseH1004 and saidH559, “WhereH346 are AhimaazH290 and JonathanH3083?” And 7the womanH802 saidH559 to them, “They have crossedH5674 the brookH4323 of waterH4325.” And whenH3512 they searchedH1245 and did not findH4672 them, they returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.
21It cameH1961 aboutH1961 afterH310 they had departedH1980, that they cameH5927 upH5927 out of the wellH875 and wentH1980 and reportedH5046 to KingH4428 DavidH1732; and they saidH559 to DavidH1732, “8SetH6965 outH6965 and crossH5674 overH5674 the waterH4325 quicklyH4120, becauseH3588 thisH3602 isH3602 whatH3602 AhithophelH302 has advisedH3289 againstH5921 you.” 22Then DavidH1732 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him setH6965 outH6965 and crossedH5674 the JordanH3383; by 9dawnH216H1242 not evenH5704 oneH259 remainedH5737 whoH834 had not crossedH5674 the JordanH3383.
