And the king said to the priest Zadok, "See? Return to the city in peace (shalom) and Achimaats, your son, and Jehonatan, the son of Evjatar, your two sons with you.
Behold, they have their two sons with them, Hos, the son of Zadok, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, and through them they shall send everything to me so that I may hear it."
Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were at En-Rogel, and a servant girl went and told them, and they went and told David, for they did not want to be seen in the city.
And Absalom's servants came to the woman of the house and said, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" The woman answered them, "They have gone over the watering place (Hebr. michal)." [An unusual word for a stream, may be its name.] And when they had searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
And Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said, "Let me run and bring the king the news of how the Lord (Yahweh) has avenged him of his enemies."
And once again Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said to Joab, "Why won't you let me, I beg you, let me also run after the Cushite." And Joab said, "Why do you want to run, my son, you will not receive any reward for this news?"
"What prevents me from running?" But he [Joab] answered him, "Run." And Ahimaaz ran the way of the plain and outran the Cushite.
And the watchman said, "The running style of the one in front looks like that of Achimaats, the son of Tsadoq." And the king [David] said, "He is a good man and brings good news."
And Achimaats cried out and said, "Shalom (all is well)!" Then he bowed down before the king with his face to the ground and said, "Blessed be the Lord your God (Yahweh Elohim), who has delivered the men who rose up (raised their hands) against my lord the king."
And the king said, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" And Ahimaaz answered, "When Joab sent the king's servants and me, your servant, I saw a great commotion, but I do not know what it was."
