2 Samuel 17:15-17

Contemporary English Version

Jonathan and Ahimaaz Tell David the News

¹⁵ At once, Hushai went to Zadok and Abiathar. He told them what advice Ahithophel had given to Absalom and to the leaders of Israel. He also told them about the advice he had given. ¹⁶ Then he said, “Hurry! Send someone to warn David not to spend the night on this side of the Jordan. He must get across the river, so he and the others won't be wiped out!”

¹⁷ Jonathan and Ahimaaz^[a] had been waiting at Rogel Spring^[b] because they did not want to be seen in Jerusalem. A servant girl went to the spring and gave them the message for David.
