2 Samuel 18:23-25

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²³ But he said, Let me run anyhow. So Joab said to him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain and outran the Cushite.

²⁴ Now David was sitting between the two gates; and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate by the wall, and when he looked, he saw a man running alone.

²⁵ The watchman called out and told the king. The king said, If he is alone, he has news to tell. And he came on and drew near.
