2 Samuel 18:22-29

22Then saidH559 AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659 yet againH5750 to JoabH3097, But comeH1961 whatH4100 may, letH4994 meH413, I prayH4994 thee, also runH7323 afterH310 the CushiteH3569. And JoabH3097 saidH559, Wherefore wilt thou runH7323, my sonH1121, seeing that thou wilt have noH369 rewardH1309 for the tidings?

23But comeH1961 whatH4100 may, saidH559 he, I will runH7323. And he saidH559 unto him, RunH7323. Then AhimaazH290 ranH7323 by the wayH1870 of the PlainH3603, and overran the CushiteH3569.

24NowH2009 DavidH1732 satH3427 betweenH996 the twoH8147 gatesH8179: and the watchmanH6822 wentH413 upH5375 to the roofH1406 of the gateH8179 unto the wallH2346, and liftedH5375 upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and, beholdH2009, a manH376 runningH7323 aloneH905.

25And the watchmanH6822 criedH7121, and toldH5046 the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559, IfH518 he be aloneH905, there is tidings in his mouthH6310. And he cameH1980 apace, and drewH1980 nearH7131.

26And the watchmanH6822 sawH7200 anotherH312 manH376 runningH7323: and the watchmanH6822 calledH7121 unto the porter, and saidH559, BeholdH2009, anotherH312 manH376 runningH7323 aloneH905. And the kingH4428 saidH559, He also bringeth tidingsH1319.

27And the watchmanH6822 saidH559, MeH413 thinketh the runningH4794 of the foremostH7223 is like the runningH4794 of AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659. And the kingH4428 saidH559, He is a goodH2896 manH376, and cometh with goodH2896 tidings.

28And AhimaazH290 calledH7121, and saidH559 unto the kingH4428, AllH376 is wellH7965. And he bowedH7812 himselfH7812 beforeH413 the kingH4428 with his faceH639 to the earthH776, and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, whichH834 hath deliveredH5462 upH5375 the menH376 that liftedH5375 upH5375 their handH3027 againstH413 my lordH3068 the kingH4428.

29And the kingH4428 saidH559, Is it wellH7965 with the youngH5288 manH5288 AbsalomH53? And AhimaazH290 answeredH559, When JoabH3097 sentH7971 the king’sH4428 servantH5650, evenH3808 meH7971 thy servantH5650, I sawH7200 a greatH1419 tumultH1995, but I knewH3045 notH3808 whatH4100 it was.
