2 Samuel 18:24-28

24Now DavidH1732 was sittingH3427 betweenH996 the twoH8147 gatesH8179 when the watchmanH6822 went upH1980 toH413 the roofH1406 of the gatewayH8179 byH413 the wallH2346, looked outH5375, and sawH7200H2009 a manH376 running aloneH7323H905. 25SoH6822 he called outH7121 and toldH5046 the kingH4428.

“If he is aloneH518H905,” the kingH4428 repliedH559, “he bearsH6310 good newsH1309.”

As the first runner drewH1980 nearH7131, 26the watchmanH6822 sawH7200 anotherH312 manH376 runningH7323, and he called outH7121H6822 toH413 the gatekeeperH7778, “LookH2009! Another manH376 is running aloneH7323H905!”

“ThisH2088 one alsoH1571 brings good newsH1319,” saidH559 the kingH4428.

27The watchmanH6822 saidH559, “The first manH7223 appearsH7200 to meH589 to be runningH4794 like AhimaazH290 sonH1121 of ZadokH6659.”

“ThisH2088 is a goodH2896 manH376,” saidH559 the kingH4428. “He comesH935 withH413 goodH2896 newsH1309.”

28Then AhimaazH290 called outH7121 toH413 the kingH4428, “All is wellH7965!” And he bowedH7812 facedownH639H776 before the kingH4428.

He continuedH559, “BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 your GodH430! He has delivered upH5462 the menH582 whoH834 raisedH5375 their handsH3027 against my lordH113 the kingH4428.”
