2 Samuel 18:19-23

19Then saidH559 AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659, Let me now runH7323, and bearH1319 the kingH4428 tidings, how that Jehovah hath avenged him of his enemiesH341. 20And JoabH3097 saidH559 unto him, Thou shalt not be the bearerH1319 of tidings this dayH3117, but thou shalt bearH1319 tidings another dayH3117; but this dayH3117 thou shalt bearH1319 no tidings, because the king’sH4428 sonH1121 is deadH4191. 21Then saidH559 JoabH3097 to the CushiteH3569, Go, tellH5046 the kingH4428 what thou hast seenH7200. And the CushiteH3569 bowedH7812 himself unto JoabH3097, and ranH7323. 22Then saidH559 AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659 yetH5750 againH5750 to JoabH3097, But come what may, let me, I pray thee, alsoH1571 runH7323 after the CushiteH3569. And JoabH3097 saidH559, Wherefore wilt thou runH7323, my sonH1121, seeing that thou wilt have no reward for the tidings? 23But come what may, saidH559 he, I will runH7323. And he saidH559 unto him, RunH7323. Then AhimaazH290 ranH7323 by the wayH1870 of the Plain, and outran the CushiteH3569.
