Have them send their sons Ahimaaz and Jonathan to tell me what you hear.
Jonathan and Ahimaaz were waiting at En Rogel. They could not risk being seen coming into the city. A servant girl was to go and tell them. They were to go and tell King David. A young man saw Jonathan and Ahimaaz and told Absalom. So both of them left quickly. They went to the home of a man in Bahurim who had a cistern in his courtyard. They climbed down into it. The man's wife took a covering and spread it over the opening of the cistern. She scattered grain over it so that no one would notice anything. read more.

Ahimaaz son of Zadok said: Joab let me run and tell King David that Jehovah rescued him from his enemies. Joab answered: You are not the one to tell the king his son is dead. You can take him a message some other time, but not today. Someone from Ethiopia was standing there. Joab told him: Go tell the king what you have seen. The man knelt down in front of Joab and then got up and started running. read more.
Ahimaaz spoke to Joab again: No matter what happens, I still want to run. The Ethiopian has already left. Joab said: Why should you run? You will not get a reward for the news you have! I would like to run whatever happens, Let me run, replied Ahimaaz. Joab told him: Run! So Ahimaaz ran along the valley road and got ahead of the Sudanese messenger. David was sitting between the two gates. The watchman walked along the roof of the gate by the wall. He looked at the man running alone. The watchman called and alerted the king. If he is alone, the king said, He has good news to tell. The runner came closer. The watchman saw another man running. He called: There is another man running alone. The king said: This one is also bringing good news. The watchman said: It appears the first one runs like Ahimaaz, Zadok's son. He's a good man, the king said. He must be coming with good news. Ahimaaz approached the king, greeted him, and bowed down in front of him. Ahimaaz said: May Jehovah your God be praised. He has handed over the men who rebelled against Your Majesty. Is the young man Absalom all right? The king asked. Ahimaaz answered: I saw a lot of confusion when Joab sent me away. I did not know what it meant. Step aside, and stand here,the king said. He stepped aside and stood there. Then the Sudanese messenger came. Good news for Your Majesty! He said. Today Jehovah freed you from all who turned against you. Is the young man Absalom all right? The king asked. The Sudanese messenger answered: May your enemies and all who turned against you be like that young man! The king was shaken by the news. He went to the room above the gate and cried. My son Absalom! He said. My son, my son Absalom! I wish I had died in your place! Absalom, my son, my son!
