Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house,.... Who were sent after then, had intelligence which way they took, and into what house they turned:

they said, where [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan? calling them by their names, being persons well known, and as to them, so to the woman of the house, as they supposed:

and the woman said unto them, they be gone over the brook of water; the river Jordan; so the Targum,

"they have already passed over Jordan;''

this was a lie she told them, which is not to be justified; the Vulgate Latin version,

"they passed over hastily, having drank a little water;''

and so Josephus r in some copies:

and when they had sought and could not find [them]; not only searched that house, but very probably others in Bahurim:

they returned to Jerusalem; to give an account what success they had.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

As soon as ever she had hid the men she went into the house, as if busy about her usual occupations. Had Absalom’s servants, who had had information from some of the people of Bahurim that the men had come to this house, found her in the court it might have directed their attention to the peeled barley.

Over the brook of water - Compare 2 Samuel 16:9 note. The word for “brook” (“Michal”) occurs only here. One has been found in this very district, still so called. The woman showed great presence of mind and adroitness in not denying that they had been there.
