2 Samuel 17:17-19

The Voice

¹⁷ The priests’ sons, Jonathan and Ahimaaz, were waiting at En-rogel for news. A servant girl would bring them messages because they couldn’t risk being seen entering the city. When they had something to report, they would go tell King David. ¹⁸ But this time they were careless, and a boy saw them and reported it to Absalom. So the two men fled to the house of a man in Bahurim. There was a well in the courtyard, and they lowered themselves into it. ¹⁹ The man’s wife put the cover over the well and spread out grain on top of it, so no one could see it was there.
