2 Samuel 18:18-20

18Now AbsalomH53 in his lifetime had takenH3947 and reared up for himself a monument, which is in the king's dale; for he saidH559, I have no sonH1121 to keep my nameH8034 in remembranceH2142; and he calledH7121 the monument after his own nameH8034; and it is calledH7121 unto this dayH3117, Absalom's memorial.

19And AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659 saidH559, Let me runH7323, I pray, and carry the kingH4428 the newsH1319 that Jehovah has avenged him of his enemiesH341.

20And JoabH3097 saidH559 to him, Thou shalt not be a bearerH1319 of newsH1319 to-day, but thou shalt carry the newsH1319 another dayH3117; but to-day thou shalt carry no newsH1319, because the king's sonH1121 is deadH4191.
