2 Samuel 17:18-20
Holman Christian Standard Bible
18 However, a young man did see them and informed Absalom. So the two left quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim. He had a well in his courtyard, and they climbed down into it. 19 Then his wife took the cover, placed it over the mouth of the well, and scattered grain on it so nobody would know anything.

“They passed by toward the water,”[a] the woman replied to them. The men searched but did not find them, so they returned to Jerusalem.
