2 Samuel 17:19 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 17:19

17 ^aNow Jonathan and Ahimaaz ^bstayed at ^cEn Rogel, for they dared not be seen coming into the city; so a female servant would come and tell them, and they would go and tell King David.

18 Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom. But both of them went away quickly and came to a man’s house ^ain Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down into it.

19 ^aThen the woman took and spread a covering over the well’s mouth, and spread ground grain on it; and the thing was not known.

20 And when Absalom’s servants came to the woman at the house, they said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” So ^athe woman said to them, “They have gone over the water brook.” And when they had searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

21 Now it came to pass, after they had departed, that they came up out of the well and went and told King David, and said to David, ^a“Arise and cross over the water quickly. For thus has Ahithophel advised against you.”
