Jonathan and Ahimaaz tell King David, and David and all the people pass over the Jordan

요나단과 아히마아스가 다윗왕에게 고하고 다윗이 모든 백성과 함께 요단을 건넘

2 Samuel 17:15–22: then Hushai says to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Ahithophel counseled Absalom and the elders of Israel that way; and I have counseled this way. Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, ‘Don’t lodge tonight at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over, lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people who are with him.’” Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz are staying by En Rogel; and a female servant used to go and report to them, and they went and told King David; for they couldn’t risk being seen coming into the city. But a boy sees them, and tells Absalom. Then they both go away quickly and come to the house of a man in Bahurim, who has a well in his court; and they go down there. The woman takes and spreads the covering over the well’s mouth, and spreads out crushed grain on it; and nothing is known. Absalom’s servants come to the woman to the house; and they say, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” The woman says to them, “They have gone over the brook of water.” When they have sought and cannot find them, they return to Jerusalem. After they have departed, they come up out of the well and go and tell King David; and they say to David, “Arise and pass quickly over the water; for thus has Ahithophel counseled against you.” Then David arises, and all the people who are with him, and they pass over the Jordan. By the morning light there lacks not one of them who has not gone over the Jordan. At 17:20 the Korean Revised Version spells Ahimaaz 아히마하스.
