2 Samuel 18:24-26

Lexham English Bible

²⁴ Now David was sitting between the two gates, and the sentinel went up to the roof of the gate by the wall and he lifted up his eyes and watched, and look, a man was running by himself. ²⁵ The sentry called and told the king, and the king said, “If he is alone, good news is in his mouth.” He kept coming closer.^{[a] 26} Then the sentinel saw another man running, so the sentinel called to the gatekeeper and said, “Look, a man running alone.” The king said, “This one also is bringing good news.”
