  19 H290 Then Ahimaaz H1121 the son H6659 of Zadok H559 said, H7323 "Let me now run, H1319 and bear H4428 the king H1319 news, H3068 how that Yahweh H8199 has avenged H3027 him of his enemies."
  20 H3097 Joab H559 said H376 to him, "You H1309 shall not be the bearer of news H3117 this day, H1319 but you shall bear news H312 another H3117 day. H3117 But today H1319 you shall bear no news, H4428 because the king's H1121 son H4191 is dead."
  21 H3097 Then Joab H559 said H3569 to the Cushite, H3212 "Go, H5046 tell H4428 the king H7200 what you have seen!" H3569 The Cushite H7812 bowed H3097 himself to Joab, H7323 and ran.
  22 H290 Then Ahimaaz H1121 the son H6659 of Zadok H559 said H3254 yet again H3097 to Joab, H4100 "But come what may, H7323 please let me also run H310 after H3569 the Cushite." H3097 Joab H559 said, H7323 "Why do you want to run, H1121 my son, H4672 since that you will have no reward H1309 for the news?"
  23 H559 "But come what may," he said, H7323 "I will run." H559 He said H7323 to him, "Run!" H290 Then Ahimaaz H7323 ran H1870 by the way H3603 of the Plain, H3569 and outran the Cushite.
  24 H1732 Now David H3427 was sitting H8147 between the two H8179 gates: H6822 and the watchman H3212 went up H1406 to the roof H8179 of the gate H2346 to the wall, H5375 and lifted up H5869 his eyes, H7200 and looked, H376 and, behold, a man H7323 running alone.
  25 H6822 The watchman H7121 cried, H5046 and told H4428 the king. H4428 The king H5046 said, H1309 "If he is alone, there is news H6310 in his mouth." H3212 He came H1980 closer H7131 and closer.
  26 H6822 The watchman H7200 saw H312 another H376 man H7323 running; H6822 and the watchman H7121 called H7778 to the porter, H559 and said, H376 "Behold, a man H7323 running H4428 alone!" The king H559 said, H1319 "He also brings news."
  27 H6822 The watchman H559 said, H7200 "I think H4794 the running H7223 of the first H4794 one is like the running H290 of Ahimaaz H1121 the son H6659 of Zadok." H4428 The king H559 said, H2896 "He is a good H376 man, H935 and comes H2896 with good H1309 news."
  28 H290 Ahimaaz H7121 called, H559 and said H4428 to the king, H7965 "All is well." H7812 He bowed H4428 himself before the king H639 with his face H776 to the earth, H559 and said, H1288 "Blessed H3068 is Yahweh H430 your God, H5462 who has delivered up H582 the men H5462 who lifted up H3027 their hand H113 against my lord H4428 the king!"
  29 H4428 The king H559 said, H7965 "Is it well H5288 with the young man H53 Absalom?" H290 Ahimaaz H559 answered, H3097 "When Joab H7971 sent H4428 the king's H5650 servant, H5650 even me your servant, H7200 I saw H1419 a great H1995 tumult, H3045 but I don't know what it was."
  30 H4428 The king H559 said, H5437 "Turn aside, H3320 and stand H3541 here." H5437 He turned aside, H5975 and stood still.
  31 H3569 Behold, the Cushite H935 came. H3569 The Cushite H559 said, H1319 "News H113 for my lord H4428 the king; H113 for Yahweh H8199 has avenged H3117 you this day H3027 of all those H6965 who rose up against you."
  32 H4428 The king H559 said H3569 to the Cushite, H7965 "Is it well H5288 with the young man H53 Absalom?" H3569 The Cushite H559 answered, H341 "May the enemies H113 of my lord H4428 the king, H6965 and all who rise H7451 up against you to do you harm, H5288 be as that young man is."
  33 H4428 The king H7264 was much moved, H5927 and went up H5944 to the room H8179 over the gate, H1058 and wept. H3212 As he went, H559 he said, H1121 "My son H53 Absalom! H1121 My son, H1121 my son H53 Absalom! H4191 I wish I had died H5414 for you, H53 Absalom, H1121 my son, H1121 my son!"
