Hushai Informs David
15 Then (A)Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “[a]This is what Ahithophel counseled Absalom and the elders of Israel, and [b]this is what I have counseled. 16 So now, send quickly and inform David, saying, ‘(B)Do not spend the night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means cross over, lest the king and all the people who are with him be swallowed up.’” 17 (C)Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at (D)En-rogel, and a servant-woman would go and inform them, and they would go and inform King David, for they could not be seen entering the city.
