2 Samuel 17:18-20

Darby Translation

¹⁸ But a lad saw them, and told Absalom. Then they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man at Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down there.

¹⁹ And the woman took and spread the covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn on it; and the thing was not known.

²⁰ And Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, and said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone over the brook of water. And they sought and could not find [them], and returned to Jerusalem.
