2 Samuel 18:26-28

International Standard Version

²⁶ the watchman observed another man running. So he called out to the gatekeeper, “There’s another^[a] man running by himself!”

The king replied, “He’s also bringing some news to report!”

²⁷ Then the watchman observed, “It looks to me that the runner out in front is running like Zadok’s son Ahimaaz!”

The king replied, “This is a good man bearing good news!”

²⁸ “Everything’s fine!”^[b] Ahimaaz announced to the king. He bowed low with his face to the ground^[c] before the king and said, “Praise be to the Lord your God! He has handed over the men who rebelled against your majesty the king.”
