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.'
28 And Ahimaaz calleth and saith unto the king, 'Peace;' and he boweth himself to the king, on his face, to the earth, and saith, 'Blessed 'is' Jehovah thy God who hath shut up the men who lifted up their hand against my lord the king.'
29 And the king saith, 'Peace to the youth -- to Absalom?' And Ahimaaz saith, 'I saw the great multitude, at the sending away of the servant of the king, even thy servant 'by' Joab, and I have not known what 'it is'.'
30 And the king saith, 'Turn round, station thyself here;' and he turneth round and standeth still.
