2 Samuel 17:19-21

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁹ And the woman of the house took and spread a covering over the well’s mouth and spread ground wheat upon it, and the thing was not known.

²⁰ And when Absalom’s slaves came to the woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They have gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

²¹ And it came to pass, after they had departed, that they came up out of the well and went and told King David and said unto David, Arise and pass quickly over the water, for thus has Ahithophel counselled against you.
