2 Samuel 17:18-20
New American Standard Bible 1995
18 But a lad did see them and told Absalom; so the two of them departed quickly and came to the house of a man (A)in Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard, and they went down [a]into it. 19 And (B)the woman [b]took a covering and spread it over the well’s mouth and scattered grain on it, so that nothing was known. 20 Then Absalom’s servants came to the woman at the house and said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And (C)the woman said to them, “They have crossed the brook of water.” And when they searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
