18 But a young man saw them and told Absalom. So both of them went away quickly and came to the house of a man at (A)Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard. And they went down into it. 19 (B)And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth and scattered grain on it, and nothing was known of it. 20 When Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house, they said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And the woman said to them, “They have gone over the brook[a] of water.” And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
