Otherwise the king and all the people with him will be swallowed up.’” ¹⁷ Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, where a servant girl would come and pass along information to them. They in turn would go and inform King David, for they dared not be seen entering the city. ¹⁸ But a young man did see them and told 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 the man’s wife took a covering and spread it over the mouth of the well, scattering grain over it so nobody would know a thing.
