Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.”

Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En Rogel just outside Jerusalem. They knew they would be in danger if anyone saw them entering the city. A female servant was supposed to go and tell them what had happened. Then they were supposed to go and tell King David.

The king said again to Zadok the priest,“ Do you understand? Go back to the city with my blessing. Take your son Ahimaaz with you. Also take Abiathar and his son Jonathan with you.

Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said to Joab,“ Let me run and take the news to the king. Let me tell him that the Lord has shown that David is in the right. The Lord has done this by saving David from his enemies.”“ I don’t want you to take the news to the king today,” Joab told him.“ You can do it some other time. But you must not do it today, because the king’s son is dead.”Then Joab said to a man from Cush,“ Go. Tell the king what you have seen.” The man bowed down in front of Joab. Then he ran off.Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, spoke again to Joab. He said,“ I don’t care what happens to me. Please let me run behind the man from Cush.” But Joab replied,“ My son, why do you want to go? You don’t have any news that will bring you a reward.”He said,“ I don’t care what happens. I want to run.” So Joab said,“ Run!” Then Ahimaaz ran across the plain of the Jordan River. As he ran, he passed the man from Cush.David was sitting in the area between the inner and outer gates of the city. The man on guard duty went up to the roof over the entrance of the gate by the wall. As he looked out, he saw someone running alone.The guard called out to the king and reported it. The king said,“ If the runner is alone, he must be bringing good news.” The runner came closer and closer.Then the man on guard duty saw another runner. He called out to the man guarding the gate. He said,“ Look! There’s another man running alone!” The king said,“ He must be bringing good news too.”The man on guard duty said,“ I can see that the first one runs like Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok.”“ He’s a good man,” the king said.“ He’s bringing good news.”Then Ahimaaz called out to the king,“ Everything’s all right!” He bowed down in front of the king with his face toward the ground. He said,“ You are my king and master. Give praise to the Lord your God! He has handed over to you those who lifted their hands to kill you.”The king asked,“ Is the young man Absalom safe?” Ahimaaz answered,“ I saw total disorder. I saw it just as Joab was about to send the king’s servant and me to you. But I don’t know what it was all about.”The king said,“ Stand over there and wait.” So he stepped over to one side and stood there.Then the man from Cush arrived. He said,“ You are my king and master. I’m bringing you some good news. The Lord has shown that you are in the right. He has done this by rescuing you today from all those trying to kill you.”The king asked the man from Cush,“ Is the young man Absalom safe?” The man replied,“ King David, may your enemies be like that young man. May all those who rise up to harm you be like him.”The king was very upset. He went up to the room over the entrance of the gate and wept. As he went, he said,“ My son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! I wish I had died instead of you. Absalom! My son, my son!”
