2 Samuel 18:24-27

24Now 1David was sitting between the two gates; and 2the watchman went to the roof of the gate by the wall, and raised his eyes and looked; and behold, a man was running by himself. 25So the watchman called out and told the king. And the king said, “If he is by himself there is good news in his mouth.” And he came nearer and nearer. 26Then the watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called to the gatekeeper and said, “Behold, another man is running by himself.” And the king said, “This one also is bringing good news.” 27The watchman said, “I 3think the running form of the first one 4is like the running form of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok.” And the king said, “5This is a good man, and he is coming with good news.”
