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 Por tanto enviad inmediatamente, y dad aviso a David, diciendo: No quedes esta noche en los llanos del desierto, sino pasa luego el Jord谩n , para que el rey no sea consumido, y todo el pueblo que con 茅l est谩.
17 Y Jonat谩n y Ahimaas estaban junto a la fuente de Rogel, porque no pod铆an ellos mostrarse viniendo a la ciudad; y fue all谩 una criada, la cual les dio el aviso; y ellos fueron, y dieron aviso al rey David.
18 Pero fueron vistos por un joven, el cual lo dijo a Absal贸n; sin embargo los dos se dieron prisa a caminar, y llegaron a casa de un hombre en Bahurim, que ten铆a un pozo en su patio, dentro del cual ellos descendieron.
19 Y tomando la mujer de la casa una manta, la extendi贸 sobre la boca del pozo, y tendi贸 sobre ella del trigo majado, para que el negocio no fuese entendido.
20 Llegando luego los criados de Absal贸n a la casa a la mujer, le dijeron: 驴D贸nde est谩n Ahimaas y Jonat谩n? Y la mujer les respondi贸: Ya han pasado el vado de las aguas. Y como ellos los buscaron y no los hallaron volvieron a Jerusal茅n.
