2 Samuel 18:24-27

24David was sitting between the two gates while the watchman walked along the roof of the gate by the wall. As he looked, he saw a man running alone.

25The watchman called and alerted the king. “If he’s alone,” the king said, “he has good news to tell.” The runner continued to come closer.

26When the watchman saw another man running, the watchman called, “There’s ⌞another⌟ man running alone.” The king said, “This one is also bringing good news.”

27The watchman said, “It seems to me that the first one runs like Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son.” “He’s a good man,” the king said. “He must be coming with good news.”
