“Well’s Mouth”

“Well’s Mouth”

Blessings folk!

Extreme danger was afoot as Absalom took the throne of his father David.

Remember how David had left people behind to provide information for him?

Watch…

2 Sa 17:15-20

Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests,
“This is what Ahithophel counseled Absalom and the elders of Israel,
and this is what I have counseled.

“Now therefore, send quickly and tell David, saying,
‘Do not spend the night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means cross over,
or else the king and all the people who are with him will be destroyed.’”

Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, and a maidservant would go and tell them, and they would go and tell King David, for they could not be seen entering the city.

But a lad did see them and told Absalom; so the two of them departed quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard, and they went down into it.

And the woman took a covering and spread it over the well’s mouth and scattered grain on it, so that nothing was known.

Then Absalom’s servants came to the woman at the house and said,
“Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?”
And the woman said to them, “They have crossed the brook of water.”
And when they searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

Hushai, good guy, told Zadok and Abiathar the priests, good guys, the counsel Absalom received.

Zadok and Abiathar then sent their sons, Jonath and Ahimaaz, good guys, to tell David.

As per David’s instruction and plan.

They were careful, yet they were still seen by a young boy.

The boy told Absalom.

Jonathan and Ahimaaz fled.
They hid in a well, aided by a woman.
She covered the well and spread grain over the covering…making it appear as if the well cover had not been moved.

The woman told Absalom’s servants who were seeking the men that “they have crossed the brook of water.”

An expedient lie?

Well…pun intended…they were “crossing the brook of water” while they were in the well. Happy Happy
She also inferred that they had gone over to David’s side.

Misdirection and misinformation is a tactic in war.

We are in the beginning of such days.

Know who you believe.
Know who you trust.

Fear not!
It is gonna get worse…much worse.
