2 SAMUEL 17:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.”
When Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house, they said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have crossed the brook — So the men searched but found nothing and returned to Jerusalem — The woman deceives Absalom's servants, telling them the priests have crossed the brook. Her lie buys time and allows Jonathan and Ahimaaz to escape. The servants search but find nothing, returning to report failure to Absalom.
