2 Samuel 17:17

Hushai Warns David to Escape

15 ^aThen Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, “Thus and so Ahithophel advised Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and so I have advised.

16 Now therefore, send quickly and tell David, saying, ‘Do not spend this night ^ain the plains of the wilderness, but speedily cross over, lest the king and all the people who are with him be swallowed up.’ ”

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.
