2 Samuel 18:25 YLT

²³  'And, whatever it be, 'said he,' let me run.' And he saith to him, 'Run;' and Ahimaaz runneth the way of the circuit, and passeth by the Cushite.

²⁴  And David is sitting between the two gates, and the watchman goeth unto the roof of the gate, unto the wall, and lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, a man running by himself.

²⁵  And the watchman calleth, and declareth to the king, and the king saith, 'If by himself, tidings 'are' in his mouth;' and he cometh, coming on and drawing near.

²⁶  And the watchman seeth another man running, and the watchman calleth unto the gatekeeper, and saith, 'Lo, a man running by himself;' and the king saith, 'Also this one is bearing tidings.'

²⁷  And the watchman saith, 'I see the running of the first as the running of Ahimaaz son of Zadok.' And the king saith, 'This 'is' a good man, and with good tidings he cometh.'
