2 Samuel 17:18 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 17:18

Nevertheless, a lad saw them, and told Absalom
Saw them conversing with the girl, and departing for David's army; according to Josephus F15, they were some horsemen that saw them about two furlongs or a quarter mile from Jerusalem, and acquainted Absalom with it:

but they went both of them away quickly;
made all the haste they could with their message to David:

and came to a man's house in Bahurim;
where very probably they had been informed David had been, whither he came weary, and had refreshment, ( 2 Samuel 16:14 ) ; or rather, perceiving they were discovered and pursued, they turned in hither, the first place they came to, for safety:

which had a well in his court;
which they observed, and was the reason of their turning in:

whither they went down;
to hide themselves from their pursuers, it being dry, as sometimes wells were in the summertime: Josephus says {p}, a woman let them down by a rope.

2 Samuel 17:18 In-Context

16 Agora, pois, mandai apressadamente avisar a Davi, dizendo: Não passes esta noite nos vaus do deserto; mas passa sem falta � outra banda, para que não seja devorado o rei, e todo o povo que com ele está.
17 Ora, Jônatas e Aimaaz estavam esperando junto a En-Rogel; e foi uma criada, e lhes avisou, para que eles fossem e o dissessem ao rei Davi; pois não deviam ser vistos entrando na cidade.
18 Viu-os todavia um moço, e avisou a Absalão. Ambos, porém, partiram apressadamente, e entraram em casa de um homem, em Baurim, o qual tinha no pátio de sua casa um poço, para o qual eles desceram.
19 E a mulher, tomando a tampa, colocou-a sobre a boca do poço, e espalhou grão triturado sobre ela; assim nada se soube.
20 Chegando, pois, os servos de Absalão �quela casa, perguntaram � mulher: Onde estão Aimaaz e Jônatas? Respondeu-lhes a mulher: Já passaram a corrente das águas. E, havendo-os procurado sem os encontrarem, voltaram para Jerusalém.
