Jonathan: Son of Abiathar: Acts As a Spy for David

Source: Nav

2 Samuel 15:27, 28 The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace—you with your son Ahimaaz, and Abiathar with his son Jonathan. / See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
2 Samuel 17:17–22 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, where a servant girl would come and pass along information to them. They in turn would go and inform King David, for they dared not be seen entering the city. / But a young man did see them and told Absalom. So the two left quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim. He had a well in his courtyard, and they climbed down into it. / Then the man’s wife took a covering and spread it over the mouth of the well, scattering grain over it so nobody would know a thing.
