2 Samuel 17:18 in Context — 2 Samuel 17

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.

19 E tomando a mulher da casa uma manta, estendeu-a sobre a boca do poço, e estendeu sobre ela o grão trilhado; e não se penetrou o negócio.

20 Chegando logo os criados de Absalão à casa à mulher, disseram-lhe: Onde estão Aimaás e Jônatas? E a mulher lhes respondeu: Já passaram o vau das águas. E quando eles os buscaram e não os acharam voltaram a Jerusalém.
