2 Samuel 18:23-25

EasyEnglish Bible

²³ Ahimaaz said, ‘But I do want to go, whatever happens.’

So Joab said, ‘Run after him, then!’

So Ahimaaz ran fast along a road in the Jordan Valley. He arrived near Mahanaim before the Ethiopian man.

²⁴ David was sitting between the two gates of Mahanaim city.^[a] A man went up to the top of the wall, on the roof above the gate. He was watching the road. As he looked, he saw a man who was running towards the city. He was running alone. ²⁵ So the man on the wall shouted a message to the king, to say what he had seen.

The king said, ‘If the man is alone, he is bringing good news.’ The man who was running towards the city came much nearer.
