2 Samuel 17:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 ¶ Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz abode by [a]En Rogel: (for they might not be seen to come into the city) and a maid went, and [b]told them, and they went and showed king David.
18 Nevertheless, a young man saw them, and told it to Absalom. Therefore they both departed quickly, and came to a man’s house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, into the which they went down.
19 And [c]the wife took and spread a covering over the well’s mouth, and spread ground corn thereon, that the thing should not be known.
