25 And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the King said, If he be alone, [a]he bringeth tidings. And he came apace, and drew near.

26 And the watchman saw another man running, and the watchman called unto the potter, and said, Behold, another man runneth alone. And the King said, He also bringeth tidings.

27 And the watchman said, [b]Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. Then the King said, He is a [c]good man, and cometh with good tidings.
