2 Samuel 17:20 in Context — 2 Samuel 17
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.
21 E depois que eles se houveram ido, aqueles saíram do poço, e foram-se, e deram aviso ao rei Davi; e disseram-lhe: Levantai-vos e apressai-vos a passar as águas, porque Aitofel deu tal conselho contra vós.
22 Então Davi se levantou, e todo aquele povo que com ele estava, e passaram o Jordão antes que amanhecesse; nem sequer faltou um que não passasse o Jordão.
