2 Samuel 17:20 in Context — 2 Samuel 17
18 Un jeune homme les aperçut, et le rapporta à Absalom. Mais ils partirent tous deux en hâte, et ils arrivèrent à Bachurim à la maison d’un homme qui avait un puits dans sa cour, et ils y descendirent.
19 La femme prit une couverture qu’elle étendit sur l’ouverture du puits, et elle y répandit du grain pilé pour qu’on ne se doutât de rien.
20 Les serviteurs d’Absalom entrèrent dans la maison auprès de cette femme, et dirent: Où sont Achimaats et Jonathan? La femme leur répondit: Ils ont passé le ruisseau. Ils cherchèrent, et ne les trouvant pas, ils retournèrent à Jérusalem.
21 Après leur départ, Achimaats et Jonathan remontèrent du puits et allèrent informer le roi David. Ils dirent à David: Levez-vous et hâtez-vous de passer l’eau, car Achitophel a conseillé contre vous telle chose.
22 David et tout le peuple qui était avec lui se levèrent et ils passèrent le Jourdain; à la lumière du matin, il n’y en avait pas un qui fût resté à l’écart, pas un qui n’eût passé le Jourdain.
