2 Samuel 17:20

Listen to 2 Samuel 17:20
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.

2 Samuel 17:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 17:20

And when Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house,
&c.] Who were sent after then, had intelligence which way they took, and into what house they turned:

they said, where [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan?
calling them by their names, being persons well known, and as to them, so to the woman of the house, as they supposed:

and the woman said unto them, they be gone over the brook of water;
the river Jordan; so the Targum,

``they have already passed over Jordan;''

this was a lie she told them, which is not to be justified; the Vulgate Latin version,

``they passed over hastily, having drank a little water;''

and so Josephus F18 in some copies:

and when they had sought and could not find [them];
not only searched that house, but very probably others in Bahurim:

they returned to Jerusalem;
to give an account what success they had.

2 Samuel 17:20 In-Context

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.
21 Y despu茅s que ellos se hubieron ido, aquellos salieron del pozo, y se fueron, y dieron aviso al rey David; y le dijeron: Levantaos y daos prisa a pasar las aguas, porque Ahitofel ha dado tal consejo contra vosotros.
22 Entonces David se levant贸, y todo el pueblo que estaba con 茅l, y pasaron el Jord谩n antes que amaneciese; ni siquiera falt贸 uno que no pasase el Jord谩n.
