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. read more.
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!
