2 Samuel 18:22-23
New English Translation
22 Ahimaaz the son of Zadok again spoke to Joab, “Whatever happens, let me go after the Cushite.” But Joab said, “Why is it that you want to go, my son? You have no good news that will bring you a reward.” 23 But he said,[a] “Whatever happens, I want to go!” So Joab[b] said to him, “Then go!” So Ahimaaz ran by the way of the Jordan plain, and he passed the Cushite.
