2 Samuel 17:17-20

17NowH3588 JonathanH3083 and AhimaazH290 stayedH5975 by En-rogelH5883; and a maidservantH8198 used to goH1980 and tellH5046 them; and they wentH1980 and toldH5046 kingH4428 DavidH1732: for they might notH3808 be seenH7200 to comeH935 intoH935 the cityH5892.

18But a ladH5288 sawH7200 them, and toldH5046 AbsalomH53: and they wentH935 bothH8147 of them awayH935 quicklyH4120, and cameH935 to the houseH1004 of a manH376 in BahurimH980, who had a wellH875 in his courtH2691; and they wentH935 downH3381 thither.

19And the womanH802 tookH3947 and spreadH6566 the coveringH4539 over the well’sH875 mouthH6440, and strewed bruised corn thereonH5921; and nothingH3808 was knownH3045.

20And Absalom’sH53 servantsH5650 cameH935 to the womanH802 to the houseH1004; and they saidH559, WhereH346 are AhimaazH290 and JonathanH3083? And the womanH802 saidH559 unto them, They be goneH935 over the brookH4323 of waterH4325. And when they had soughtH1245 and could notH3808 findH4672 them, they returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.
