seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran.
SA2 18:22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But
howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said,
Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?
SA2 18:23 But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him,
Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi.
SA2 18:24 And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up
to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and
looked, and behold a man running alone.
