2 Samuel 17:18-20
New International Version - UK
18 But a young man saw them and told Absalom. So the two of them left at once and went to the house of a man in Bahurim. He had a well in his courtyard, and they climbed down into it. 19 His wife took a covering and spread it out over the opening of the well and scattered corn over it. No one knew anything about it.
20 When Absalom’s men came to the woman at the house, they asked, ‘Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?’
The woman answered them, ‘They crossed over the brook.’[a] The men searched but found no one, so they returned to Jerusalem.
