2 Samuel 18:22-29

22And AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659 saidH559 yetH5750 againH5750 to JoabH3097, Come what may, let me, I pray thee, alsoH1571 runH7323 after the CushiteH3569. And JoabH3097 saidH559, WhyH4100 wilt thou runH7323, my sonH1121, seeing that there is no newsH1309 suited [to thee]?

23— But, come what may, let me runH7323. And he saidH559 to him, RunH7323. And AhimaazH290 ranH7323 by the wayH1870 of the plain, and outstripped the CushiteH3569.

24And DavidH1732 satH3427 between the twoH8147 gatesH8179; and the watchmanH6822 went up to the roofH1406 of the gateH8179, on to 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 newsH1309 in his mouthH6310. And he cameH1980 on and drew near.

26And the watchmanH6822 sawH7200 another manH376 runningH7323; and the watchmanH6822 calledH7121 to the porter and saidH559, Behold a manH376 runningH7323 aloneH905. And the kingH4428 saidH559, He alsoH1571 is a bearerH1319 of newsH1319.

27And the watchmanH6822 saidH559, I seeH7200 the running of the foremost like the running of AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659. And the kingH4428 saidH559, He is a goodH2896 manH376; and comesH935 with goodH2896 newsH1309.

28And AhimaazH290 calledH7121 and saidH559 to the kingH4428, PeaceH7965! And he fell downH7812 to the earthH776 on his faceH639 before the kingH4428, and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be Jehovah thy 1GodH430, who has deliveredH5462 up the menH376 that liftedH5375 up their handH3027 against my lord the kingH4428.

29And the kingH4428 saidH559, Is it well with the youngH5288 manH5288 AbsalomH53? And AhimaazH290 saidH559, I sawH7200 a greatH1419 tumultH1995 when JoabH3097 sentH7971 the king's servantH5650, and me thy servantH5650; but I knewH3045 not what it was.
