2 Samuel 18:24-26

World English Bible

²⁴ Now David was sitting between the two gates; and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate to the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man running alone. ²⁵ The watchman cried, and told the king. The king said, “If he is alone, there is news in his mouth.” He came closer and closer.

²⁶ The watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called to the gatekeeper, and said, “Behold, a man running alone!”

The king said, “He also brings news.”
