Second Samuel 17:20

And Absalom's servants came to the woman of the house and said, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" The woman answered them, "They have gone over the watering place (Hebr. michal)." [An unusual word for a stream, may be its name.] And when they had searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
