2 Samuel 18:24-26

Easy-to-Read Version

David Hears the News

²⁴ David was sitting between the two gates of the city. The watchman went up to the roof over the gate walls and saw a man running alone. ²⁵ The watchman shouted to tell King David.

King David said, “If the man is alone, he is bringing news.”

The man came closer and closer to the city. ²⁶ But then the watchman saw another man running. He called to the gatekeeper, “Look! Another man is running alone.”

The king said, “He is also bringing news.”
