Contemporary English Version

²⁵ and shouted down to tell David.

David answered, “If he's alone, he must have some news.”

The runner was getting closer, ²⁶ when the soldier saw someone else running. He shouted down to the gate, “Look! There's another runner!”

David said, “He must have some news too.”

²⁷ The soldier on the roof shouted, “The first one runs just like Ahimaaz the son of Zadok.”

This time David said, “He's a good man. He must have some good news.”
