TSNTyndale Study Notes:

17:18-20 Bahurim was the home of Shimei, the pro-Saul Benjaminite (16:5; 19:16). Shimei’s cursing of David at Bahurim reflected David’s decline, while the escape of Ahimaaz and Jonathan pictured the hope of David’s resurgence.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) So Jonathan and Ahimaaz went away

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_saw DOM=them young_man and,told to,Absalom and,left both_of=them quickly and=they_came to/towards house_of (a)_man in/on/at/with,Bahurim and=to/for=him/it well in/on/at/with,courtyard,his and,went_down there )

It is implied that they found out that the young man had told Absalom about them being there. This can be stated clearly. Alternate translation: “Jonathan and Ahimaaz found out what the young man had done, so they went away”
