2 Samuel 17:15-17

English Standard Version

^15 (A)Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, “Thus and so did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and so have I counseled. ¹⁶ Now therefore send quickly and tell David, ‘Do not stay tonight at ^(B)the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over, lest the king and all the people who are with him be ^(C)swallowed up.’” ¹⁷ Now ^(D)Jonathan and Ahimaaz were waiting at ^(E)En-rogel. A female servant was to go and tell them, and they were to go and tell King David, for they were not to be seen entering the city.
