2 Samuel 18:24-27 ▼

24 Now David was sitting between the inner and outer gates, and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate at the wall. When he looked, he saw a man running by himself.

25 So the watchman called out and informed the king. The king said, |If he is by himself, he brings good news.| The runner came ever closer.

26 Then the watchman saw another man running. The watchman called out to the gatekeeper, |There is another man running by himself.| The king said, |This one also is bringing good news.|

27 The watchman said, |It appears to me that the first runner is Ahimaaz son of Zadok.| The king said, |He is a good man, and he comes with good news.|
