³⁶ Behold ^(A)their two sons are there with them, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and ^(B)by them you shall send me everything that you hear.”

^17 (A)Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at ^(B)En-rogel, and a female servant would go and inform them, and they would go and inform King David, for they could not allow themselves to be seen entering the city.
