2 Samuel 18:21-25

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.

24Now DavidH1732 was sittingH3427 between the twoH8147 gatesH8179: and the watchmanH6822 went up to the roofH1406 of the gateH8179 unto the wallH2346, and liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and, behold, a manH376 runningH7323 aloneH905. 25And the watchmanH6822 cried, and toldH5046 the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559, If he be aloneH905, there is tidings in his mouthH6310. And he cameH1980 apace, and drew near.
