English Standard Version Anglicised

²² Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said again to Joab, “Come what may, let me also run after the Cushite.” And Joab said, “Why will you run, my son, seeing that you will have no reward for the news?” ²³ “Come what may,” he said, “I will run.” So he said to him, “Run.” Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of ^(A)the plain, and outran the Cushite.

²⁴ Now David ^(B)was sitting between the two gates, and ^(C)the watchman went up to the roof of the gate by the wall, and when he lifted up his eyes and looked, he saw a man running alone.
