26 And the watchman saw another man running, and the watchman called unto the potter, and said, Behold, another man runneth alone. And the King said, He also bringeth tidings.

27 And the watchman said, [a]Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. Then the King said, He is a [b]good man, and cometh with good tidings.

28 And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the King, Peace be with thee: and he fell down to the earth upon his face before the King, and said, Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath [c]shut up the men that lift up their hands against my Lord the King.
