2 SAMUEL 17:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.”
After they had gone, the men came up out of the well and went and told King David — They said to him, Arise and go quickly over the water — for thus has Ahithophel counseled against you — Jonathan and Ahimaaz emerge from the well and rush to David with their message. Their report confirms Hushai's warning: David must cross the Jordan immediately. Ahithophel's counsel—though defeated by Hushai's intervention—remains a threat if not acted upon.
