2 Samuel 17:18-20
Legacy Standard Bible
18 But a boy did see them and informed Absalom; so the two of them went 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 crushed 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.
