2 Samuel 17:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

Jonathan and Ahimaaz take the message to David

¹⁷ Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En Rogel.^[a] They did not go into the city because they did not want anyone to see them there. So a female servant would take messages to them. Then they would take the messages to King David. ¹⁸ But this time a young man did see them. He told Absalom where they were. So they quickly left En Rogel and they went to a man's house in Bahurim. He had a well in his yard and they climbed down into it. ¹⁹ His wife took a lid and she put it over the top of the well. Then she put some grain on it. Nobody knew that the men were hiding there.
