2 Samuel 18:20-22

Tree of Life Version

²⁰ But Joab said to him, “You are not to be the bearer of news today. You may do it another day, but today you shall bear no news—for the king’s son is dead.”

²¹ Then Joab said to the Cushite, “Go tell the king what you have seen.” So the Cushite bowed to Joab and took off running.

²² But Ahimaaz son of Zadok once again said to Joab, “Whatever happens, please let me also run after the Cushite.”

“Why should you run, my son,” Joab said, “since you would have no news worth telling?”
