2 Samuel 18:24-26

Amplified Bible

²⁴ Now David was sitting between the two gates; and the lookout went up to the roof of the gate by the wall, and when he raised his eyes and looked, he saw a man running alone. ²⁵ The lookout called down and told the king. The king said, “If he is alone, he has good news to tell.” And he came nearer and nearer. ²⁶ Then the lookout saw another man running, and he called to the gatekeeper and said, “Look, another man running alone.” The king said, “He also is bringing good news.”
