And Cushi bowed himself to Joab, and ran. 22 Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said yet again to Joab, But however, let me, I pray you, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Why will you run, my son, seeing that you have no news ready? 23 But however, he said, let me run. And he said to him, Run.

And he came quickly, and approached. 26 And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called to the gatekeeper, and said, Behold another man running alone. And the king said, He also brings news. 27 And the watchman said, It seems to me the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and comes with good news. 28 And Ahimaaz called, and said to the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king. 29 And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe?

And he turned aside, and stood still. 31 And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, News, my lord the king: for the LORD has avenged you this day of all those who rose up against you.
