2 Samuel 17:16 in Context — 2 Samuel 17
14 Então Absalão e todos os de Israel disseram: O conselho de Husai arquita é melhor que o conselho de Aitofel. Porque o SENHOR havia ordenado que o acertado conselho de Aitofel se frustrasse, para que o SENHOR fizesse vir o mal sobre Absalão.
15 Disse logo Husai a Zadoque e a Abiatar sacerdotes: Assim e assim aconselhou Aitofel a Absalão e aos anciãos de Israel: e desta maneira aconselhei eu.
16 Portanto enviai imediatamente, e dai aviso a Davi, dizendo: Não fiques esta noite nos campos do deserto, mas sim passa logo o Jordão, para que o rei não seja consumido, e todo aquele povo que com ele está.
17 E Jônatas e Aimaás estavam junto à fonte de Rogel, porque não podiam eles mostrar-se vindo à cidade; foi, portanto, uma criada, e deu-lhes o aviso: e eles foram, e noticiaram-no ao rei Davi.
18 Porém foram vistos por um jovem, o qual deu conta a Absalão: porém os dois se apressaram em caminhar, e chegaram à casa de um homem em Baurim, que tinha um poço em seu pátio, dentro do qual se meteram.
