2 Samuel 17:15-17

17:15 Then Hushai reported to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, “Here is what Ahithophel has advised Absalom and the leaders ¹  of Israel to do, and here is what I have advised. 17:16 Now send word quickly to David and warn him, ²  “Don’t spend the night at the fords of the desert ³  tonight. Instead, be sure you cross over, ⁴  or else the king and everyone who is with him may be overwhelmed.” ⁵ 

17:17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying in En Rogel. A female servant would go and inform them, and they would then go and inform King David. It was not advisable for them to be seen going into the city.
