ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૭:૨૦
આબ્શાલોમના માણસોએ તે સ્ત્રી પાસે ઘરમાં આવીને પૂછ્યું, “અહિમાઆસ તથા યોનાથાન કયાં છે?” તે સ્ત્રીએ તેઓને કહ્યું, “તેઓ તો નદી ઓળંગીને ચાલ્યા ગયા છે.” તે માણસોએ આજુબાજુ જોયું, પણ તેઓ મળ્યા નહિ, તેથી તેઓ યરુશાલેમ પાછા ફર્યા.
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १७:२०
तब अबशालोम के सेवक उस घर में उस स्त्री के पास जाकर कहने लगे, “अहीमास और योनातान कहाँ हैं?” तब स्त्री ने उनसे कहा, “वे तो उस छोटी नदी के पार गए।” तब उन्होंने उन्हें ढूँढ़ा, और न पाकर यरूशलेम को लौटे।

In context

18But a boy saw them, and told Absalom. Then they both went away quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down there.

19The woman took and spread the covering over the well’s mouth, and spread out crushed grain on it; and nothing was known.

20Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house; and they said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” The woman said to them, “They have gone over the brook of water.” When they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

21After they had departed, they came up out of the well and went and told King David; and they said to David, “Arise and pass quickly over the water; for thus has Ahithophel counseled against you.”

22Then David arose, and all the people who were with him, and they passed over the Jordan. By the morning light there lacked not one of them who had not gone over the Jordan.
