2 Samuel 18:18-20

18Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king’s dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom’s place.

19Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that Yhwh hath avenged him of his enemies.1 20And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king’s son is dead.2
